Last day of school

Hello?  Hello?  Is this thing on? 
Oh Hello!  Nice to see you again.  How have you been?

Big changes around here.  Connor had his last day of preschool today.  Which means that he's officially and kindergartener.  Crazy.  My emotions have been all over the place about that fact.  I'm thrilled at the thought of having 8 hours a day kid free.  EIGHT HOURS A DAY KID FREE!!!  But I'm also sad to be losing my shadow.  We have fun together.  He's a cutie and I'll miss him quite a bit.  I'm sad to think about it. 

I went to Costco the other day while he was a preschool.  I think it was the first time I had been to Costco alone.  It was weird.  Usually Connor and I will get lunch at their little cafeteria there but I really didn't want to sit there alone.  That would be weird.  So i was feeling sad to be there without him.  There was a mom and her son sitting at one of the tables eating lunch and it made me really miss my little man. 

When I picked him from preschool I told him about it.

Me: I went to Costco all by myself today!
Connor: So.
Well I was lonely without you.  I saw another mom and little boy eating lunch and it made me miss you.
There was another boy there!
Yeah, and it made me miss you.
Was he the same age as me?
Yes, but that's not the point.
What was his name?
I don't know.
Do you think he will be there next time we go.
Connor... that's not the point.  The point was that was missing you!

So clearly he's ready for school.  Me?  Not so much.

I'm also kinda nervous about what I'm going to do with myself.  I feel a little pressure to actually be productive and not sit around here doing nothing.  So what am I going to do?   I don't exactly know. 

Maddy's last day is tomorrow.  She will be coming home as a fourth grader.  That which is also crazy.
