GAH! It's Starting!

The Big One has Kindergarten Orientation today.  I am so happy and excited for her, yet so sad and already lonely!  I think Ms. Middle will really miss having her around for that time.  The Big One is only doing half day this year, so it won't be too much separation time, but I'm still sad.

I will be driving and picking her up every school day.  This seems like a lot, and I was a little bummed at first, but now I'm happy I am driving her.  We were always a little nervous about her riding the bus with the older kids (it is a K-5 school, so not as bad as a K-8 ~ like I went to ~ or a K-12).  Now, we know we made the right decision, because she would be the ONLY Kindergartner on the bus.  All of the other Kindergartners are going to school at a different time, so she would be the lone littlest.

We haven't had any school time, or time away from the family before, so this will be a large challenge for all of the family...except the Hubs.  He's at work, so it doesn't really do anything to his schedule.  The younger two haven't been away from The Big One, except for the occasional trip to Grandma's without them, but that wasn't more than 5 days.  Now, this will probably be easier than that was, as she will only be gone part of the day, however; it will be for a lot more days!

My fear is that she will not make any friends.  She has been looking forward to meeting new little kids for SO long.  She has also decided to become more demanding, commanding, and dictator-like with Ms. Middle, so I am fearful that she will take this persona to school and no one will like her and she will get into trouble all the time.  Her ability to listen and take direction (not that it was great to begin with) has seemed to go out the window as summer comes to a close.  I'm sure her teacher will like that...

Don't all parents want their kids to succeed and be liked?  I feel like I am more obsessive than others.  I've heard it gets better as the year goes on and with the successive children, but I don't think it will.

Day 28 ~ Love Language?

Day 28: What is your love language?

This one is easy! I have no idea. What is a love language? I have asked a few friends (three) and they all said something different. So, I don’t know...

Day 27 ~ Body Image

Day 27: What is your favorite part of your body and why?

Would have to be my hands, because they’re small and I don’t like much else.  Maybe my lips?

Day 26 of My 30 Day Blog Challenge

Day 26: What popular notion do you think the world has wrong?

Ok, this may start uproar from both sides, but the Marriage Amendment.  I could honestly care less who married who and why.  I don’t give two hoots or a lambs’ tail about the marriage tax “credit” or who gets to use it.

I DO think that this is a great example of how church and state were NOT separated when Government first became what it strives to be today. 

Marriage is a Christian word that refers to the Holy Covenant of Matrimony.  Strict Christians believe it is wrong to be homosexual.  Therefore, all strict Christians do not want Gay Marriage to be legal.

Liberals believe it is not a choice to be homosexual, but a birth “right”.  Gays ‘are who they are’.  Now, I am Christian, but I don’t care if you’re gay or straight or bisexual or bi-curious (I do care if you are transgender, because I think that is odd).  You love who you love and that’s just the way it is, no matter what I tell you.  If you are who you want to be and who you believe you are, it doesn’t really matter what I think you should be.  In the end, if you are Christian, you will face your maker and if you believe something else, then that will happen to you.

SOOOOOOO, my point is this.  Minnesotans are voting on the legalization of Gay Marriage and I haven’t decided to vote no or yes yet (I hope to by November).  I feel that all people should be able to be with whomever they feel they should be with.  I don’t care if it’s a man and a woman or a man and a man or a woman and a woman.  I think the WHOLE LAW should change and make it be a Civil Union Ceremony.  I would say then we can all be Unionized, but that is already something people can be, which would then make me say we can all be Civilized, but that will never happen…

Did I confuse you?  Sorry.  Did I make you mad?  Not sorry.  It’s my opinion.
