School became closer to starting back for 2017 & starting all together for my Youngest new little Preppy ! But its more than it just being the First Day Of School ! Its the next stage in her Life "Our Life" ! Its a big thing right ! ! She's now expected to be more mature.  Not be picked up & cuddled & soothed as much. She is a big School Girl that should no better when acting out & a pile of other expectations that get put onto the Shoulders of children when they move up into the next stage of Life! A huge part of me wants to run away to a Beach & raise my Children Home schooled without the stresses & dealings of everyday School life! I still remember my early School years (well all of them & its bloody hard work) !  Dealing with so many emotions and situations at such a young age!  When life should be carefree & all about who is "it" whilst playing Tiggy & getting Bindys stuck in your bare feet !!
