good ol days
Today feeling very nostalgic!!! I saw my Elementary School online today and just wanted to cry. Man , it seemed soo big, so intimidating. It was strange to see kids playing on the handball courts where me & my classmates once stood. Where are they all now? Do they ever feel this, and wonder about things like this too?
I can remember the photo my Mom had of me on my first day of Kindergarten, and the shadow behind me as the morning sun was rising. They showed that very same picture on their website...minus me in it. Just sitting in wonderment, as I am about to embark on taking my girl to Kindergarten, how much of an impact those memories are. And at the time to my Mom, it was just as simple as dropping me off for another day of school. More pictures showed the auditorium. It was a cute picture, but to ME , it was where I first learned to "square dance", dosey, doeying hoping to lock arms with the boy I thought for sure was to be my HUSBAND.
I love going down memory lane, although there is a lump in my throat, it feels good to be young again!!!

Dina- You have so much ahead of you, you have no idea. It is wonderful and hearbreaking. Challenging and full of rewards.
And boy, does it ever bring up memories. Keep us posted on school life, it should be interesting!
It just gets more exciting! You can be thrilled one minute and crushed the next. We all remember the terrors and wish we could protect out little ones but we can't. Just enjoy ever day!
I can place myself right back in my Kindergarden classroom with Miss Carol. The most traumatic thing about it was that my best friend/neighbor Laura wasn't there. She went to Parochial School. I was devastated. And I'm 51!!
This will be an amazing time in Tiki's life - and yours! Get ready for lots more stories and don't forget to share them with us.
