enrolling in elementary school

No, not me. My kids are already in school, my son is in high school and my daughter has a few years to go in grammar school. Next step would be college.

We just enrolled our daughter in Pre-school this year. She's going to go through it for two years, and when she gets into Kindergarten, our son ought to be in pre-k. I'll be child-free..yay!! I was sad that she was growing up, but she needs that interaction with children her own age. This gives it to her. She enjoys going to school. I could never home school her for that reason. Anyway, I wish I could be a stay at home mom, but we can't afford it at this point. We need every dollar we can make just to survive. Maybe when the kids are older, I can start cutting back on my hours.

My son is in daycare. I have adjusted to the idea of not seeing him the majority of the day. So hopefully when he goes to school it will be easy on me. But still i tear up at the idea that he is growing up.

My daughter is in Grade 3 and my son is only 4, but he will be starting Kindergarten next year. I can only say that I will be very happy when he is in full time school because the daycare costs are ridiculous. We need a financial break from paying so much for daycare. I work full time, so does my husband. We would never be able to afford to own our own home if we didn't both work full time. Also, if I was a stay at home mom, I would be so far removed from my field because of the ever changing technology that I would not be able to do my job when I decided to re-enter the work force. Right now it feels like all I am doing is working to pay the bills, but that will all change next year!! I can't wait, I am totally excited.
