The First School Morning of the Year

So everything seemed to go smooth this morning.  Boys got up easy, got ready quickly, and we made it out of the house relatively on time.  Too bad the train halfway between here and the drop-off decided to come to a complete stop across our path...  Oh well, good thing I have the bus driver's phone number, huh?  My son said he was excited about going back to school.  We got in the car and the first thing he told me was "be good, follow direction, stay calm".  I stayed at the transfer station until his bus pulled out.  And then I cried all the way back to the house.  After the last two years, I am terrified that we are starting the whole routine again.  My hope is that this teacher actually does what she says she does and doesn't just give up.  Everyone else has in the last two years.  It's not like this is the first time I have sent my son off to school.  I know this is a reaction to the stress of the last couple of years and my husband's fear (not that he will admit it) of what this year will bring.

Now I just have to keep myself from calling the school to check on him.....
