Girlie Girl is turning into a lovely, strong and confident young lady. We have cousins that did the track thing growing up and they actually really enjoyed it because they had such a nice break that they felt the didn't really get burned out on the whole school thing.

Isn't that sad how the school system is over packed and under budget. It's widespread every where. Our town's schools have decided that every Wed. is half a day b/c of budgetary constraints. Sad, very sad. They do grow up too fast, don’t they?! Isn’t that sad how the school system is over packed and under budget. It’s widespread every where.

Got a piece of that drama myself when daughter went to school here. I was expecting the clinging and crying since we are new and she is into a new school..she did not cry one bit and even bade me goodbye and told me, "you can go to work now, mom". Goodness, I cried!

I have a good friend that teaches Kindergarten in Kahuku, I believe. She's also doing year-round (probably same district). I also look forward to the first day of school!

I always got bored over the summer, and was dying for a break after month back in school. Congratulations to GG (and you too!) for taking these new steps in stride.

My youngest will start kindergarten in Sept.! I love your school schedule. It's a lot better for the kids, and for parents' wallets, than having three whole months off at once. That is quite a milestone!

I STILL cry the first day of school, <i>every year</i>, and my boys are in middle/high school!! There is just something so heart-wrenching about letting them go that first day after having them home for so many weeks. I also think it's a milestone thing - I know that at the end of the school year, they will be completely different people - both physically and emotionally more mature. (I still can't believe the man voice that comes out of GD's mouth belongs to him!!) And it's one year closer to when they become men and move away from home. I'll take one of those tissues, if you have an extra. *sniff* I bet I just made this transition so much easier for you, didn't I. lol I'm sorry to be so depressing, but girl, I FEEL your pain. *sigh* Oh Kailani, want to know a secret?
