Chocolate Chip Cookies

So the little one was way too excited to go to her day care on Friday and the reason being that the school has an hour long class to prep them for Kindergarten. Not certain on if she is excited for K or excited to have fun in those classes. Regardless of the reason, I feel she has no grasp on what the school will be like and what she can expect for the next 15 or so years going to school. It certainly is pushing me over the edge that she will start going to school this year. So far, I have only heard about moms accompanying them to school bus and kiss them goodbye but as the months are nearing, the stories are soon going to turn into reality. I have had some enjoyable 5 years- going to India anytime 'my' schedule permitted, projects free, classes free, and above all, stress-free! It is soon going to change and will only get worse before it gets any better!
