First Day of First Grade

Well I took Hailee to school today and she was so excited to go. Unfortunately, the feeling wasn't the same when we got there. She was scared and she didn't wasn't to stay. We got there about 15 min early, we found her desk, and I told her to color her picture. I sat with her for a few minutes enjoying the time just she and I, then I decided I needed to get home to Lainey and Garrett so Michael could get to work. Well Hailee was having no part of me leaving she started crying, and despite my best efforts I could not get her to calm down. I tried to leave and she followed me out the door and grabbed my leg, at this point she was screaming and making a huge scene. This went on for about 15 min of me trying to calm her down with no success, I finally had to just go and shut the door. I could hear her screaming I want my mommy as I walked away, and my heart sank. I left and I felt like a horrible mom, not because she was crying, but because I was getting mad at her for it. I felt horrible, she was scared and I was mad at her. How fair is that to her. SO I went home, I got the kids fed, took a bath, and then it was time to leave to get her. She only went until 11:15 today. Well I couldn't leave to early because Kindergarten let out just 30 min before everyone else, and if I left to early I would be in the wrong pick up line. When I got there it was a MAD HOUSE! It took me at least 20 min to get through the line. When Hailee got in the car, I asked her if her day was better and she said "Yeah except I had to sit in the hot sun" I told her I was sorry but I got there as quick as I could. So tomorrow I will get there SUPER early, or I may park at the library with Melony and walk. We will see. Anyway she has said tomorrow will be a better day. I hope so.
I went to the house tonight and unpacked some kitchen stuff. I was running out of boxes so I had to unpack some. I cleaned the kitchen and unpacked, it was nice and quite. Now I am off to bed, I am excited that my appliances will be there tomorrow. So till then. Remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..................
