Do you get emotional on the first day of school?

I do, but not in the crying sad sense. I am relieved.
Have you seen the staples commercial where dad is buying the school supplies floating through the aisles and "most wonderful time of the year" is playing in the background?
That's me! lol
I love my girls. I really enjoy having them around, but, they need school. I need to be able to clean my house and keep it looking tornado free for more than 10 minutes.
I got a bit sad on their first day of kindergarten, and when my oldest started middle school, because it's the first steps in them leaving (my mom really didn't help with this, she's a blubbering fool lol) but now that they are older it's not bad at all.
They are fine at school. I trust where they are going, the kids that are there, and I know they don't need me one bit. My middle daughter told me that I can leave now when I dropped her off for kindergarten.
