In years past I couldn&#8217;t wait for school to begin but this year is different for some reason.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t want summer to end and\u00a0 I have mixed feelings about my youngest being at school all day.\u00a0 I took the two youngest to school so they would know where to line up.\u00a0 As I saw Sophia leave I tried really hard to be strong and blink away the tears.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t let them come until I was well on my way to the car.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t think I would be one of those parents who couldn&#8217;t hold it together but here we are with wet cheeks.\u00a0 The new school year has begun and so has all the craziness.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1880\" style=\"width: 183px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
