Little boys making BIG changes!

Our family made some big changes this week.  Well actually the changes started on Thursday.  My boys had to change schools, note the use of the phrase 'had to'.  Due to some district lines that don't make sense and a record number of new kindergarteners we had to leave our beloved neighborhood school.  Don't get me wrong our new school is FABULOUS, clean and new, with wonderful and caring teachers, room for growth but we are the new kids and I am the new mom.  All my hard work to become a part of my children's school gone (not really but it feels that way), all my friends gone (again, not really but it feels that way).  I was a part of something and now I am back to square 1! 

So this is how I felt all last week:

I pouted!  I pouted at the BOE, I pouted at my husband, I pouted at my Momma, I pouted at my friends.  My boys are fine and I am the one complaining ".....but I don't know anyone at FES!!!!"  More importantly I think the problem was no one knows me at FES.  We attended Open House and I saw many of my friends but I was still pouting:

My boys are excited about their new school and seeing friends.  As a matter of fact Jackson said "Mommy it's OK, I need to make some new friends anyway."  And Joel had a new best friend on Day 1 thanks to Brit Shaw.  So with a little encouragement from my friends and the support of a great new school I am pouting a little less.

Right now I am still homesick for CES and my friends, who haven't gone anywhere by the way but before you know it I sure it will seem like we have always been at FES and we won't be able to imagine life anywhere else. 

Here's to learning how to bounce like my sweet boys!  Peace!
