It's been a hell of a week. Little H started kindergarten and it has completely sent me into a tail-spin. I was in denial up until the orientation at his new school 4 days before his first day of school. For the life of me, I just could not get the lump out of my throat. My baby... in elementary school. He JUST came out of me, I swear! How did this all happen so quickly...?
How does this all relate to food, you ask? Well... I am not exactly sure, except to say that I pack a hell of a lunch (as does Honey) and I haven't had the time or inclination to whip up much of anything in the evening. It's tough to cook when you can't really see through the tears...
However! I had a little sit-down with his teacher Thursday after school, and since then, I have been breathing a little easier. I am hoping - with all of my might - that as we all get used to the new schedule and the new schools and the new idea that Little H is now spending more awake-time with his peers that he is with his family... well, in the words of one of my mom-mentors, I need to, "let go, let god, and let life protect Little H." Easier said than done, but try I will...
