resurfacing

tomorrow is a big day around here. f. starts kindergarten! and our house goes on the market *again*. i am not sure why, but i am finding myself very teary about the prospect of sending him off to kindergarten. for weeks now i have been counting down the day - but here on the eve of his first day i find myself a mess. its not as though this is his first trip away from the nest. he has been going to preschool for 3 years now - but somehow, for some reason, kindergarten feels different. its like he is all grown up.

we went to meet his teacher together today and she seems very nice. i am sure he will have a lot of fun and make some great friends. his school added an additional kindergarten class at the very last minute, so his class size is only 17 - which should be great. today, i was just there to answer some essential questions and place check marks in the appropriate boxes. f. was there to get used to the classroom and answer a few pointed questions from his teacher. at one point they were doing some math, and he informed the teacher that 6 + 6 = 9. she corrected him and said, actually 6 + 6 = 12. to which he responds, "oh, well thats not what my mommy thinks. she told me that 6 + 6 = 9!" great, just great. admittedly my math skills suck, but i generally have the addition questions down pat.

as far as the house thing goes. i was feeling pretty excited about it. we hired a new agent, set a new price and did some last minute sprucing up over the weekend. i think the house looks great and hopefully it will sell in a hurry. we are going to start looking at houses ourselves again on friday. i am hoping that even though just now when i went to check on "the house" on the top of my dream house list and discovered that it went under contract today that this time it won't be as painful as last time. wish me luck.
