Today is the first day of school, Amber say's she has bats in her stomach, I told her no it was butterflies, she said no Mom, it's bats. Neither one of us could eat breakfast early, we are use to eating later in the morning. Jacob was up and dressed in no time flat, he was excited about starting high school. I think it's more he is excited about JROTC. Now they are gone and it is so quiet here, I can actually here myself think . Between the hugs and kisses by, even poor Gizmo got hugs and kisses, poor cat ran and hid . I had instructions, that if I needed anything to call the school office and they would page Amber to come to the phone . I just pray that they will survive the first day back.
