They Grow Up So Fast

I have my oldest child entering her senior year in high school and I've got my son entering his first year of pre-k. Both are joyous and sad to me. While my oldest hates the very air I breathe right now, the boy calls me his best friend. I know my sweet girl will grow, learn and regret being a heathen devil child to me! It happens to us all. Lord knows I broke my father's heart and came crawling back to apologize when I realized I didn't know shit about life. My 17 year old and 4 year old have the same mentality. They both know everything and you can't tell them anything. Chayce's self centered attitude comes more from his Asperger's...or I'd like to think so. Alyssa's comes from her useless father.

On the bright side, Chayce will be starting PPCD (public preschool for children with disabilities) very soon. He does need more evaluations done but he already qualifies for it. I'm terrified to put his life in a stranger's hands even if it is "qualified educators". He's never been to daycare or anything like that. I don't trust anyone with my children (a lesson I learned from my ex-husband). I know I will get used to it. Chayce is soooo excited so that makes things a lot more fun! We went shopping for his school supplies and then it hit me. I held back my tears! sniff...
