tomorrow is august 18 which means i have to take jackson to his first day of school. this day has been very long awaited and i wish it never came.

being a teen parent means i don't really fit in. people usually think jackson is my little brother and then they put two and two together and when they realize he's my son, i get dirty looks.

i'm not only nervous for jackson and if he gets judged or bullied because of me, but i could also get judged because i'm gonna be the only teen parent there.

i spend every moment i can with jackson. i mean after all he is my child and i've never been away from him for more than 15 hours. it's gonna be really hard on me. i cant wait to get tomorrow over with.

i'm definitely overthinking things but i do have to take jackson shopping for new clothes today and try and fit some work in.

i walk into jackson's room and surprisingly he's already awake.

"hey dude, do you want to come downstairs and i can make you breakfast while you watch a movie?" i ask him even though i know he's gonna say yes

"can we watch spider-man?"

"of course we can but you have to eat all of your breakfast ok?"

before i could even finish my sentence he was darting down the stairs.

*skip to sydney getting ready*

i'm taking jackson to vans to get him new shoes and then to other stores to get him more shirts and pants.

"jackson let's go it's time to leave" i screamed waiting for jackson

"i'm coming"

he soon walks down the stairs and we walk out the door. i lock the door to the house then unlock the car. i buckle him in the car seat and then we drive off.

it took at least 15 minutes to find a parking space and we even parked down the street from the mall. once we actually got into the mall we realized how packed it really was.

we turned at 2 hour trip into 1 because i don't have the time nor attention span to keep up with everything that was going on.

once we get back into the car it was dinner time so jackson and i got a drive through meal and ate at home.

i soon gave him a bath and then sent him to bed. i'm seriously not ready for tomorrow.

*tomorrow morning at 6:45 am*

i got jackson up and for some ODD reason he was happy to go to school. once he was up i got dressed and did my hair. i then made him breakfast and soon enough we were out the door ready to leave.

we are about 2 minutes away from the school and to be honest i'm pooping BRICKS right now.

we arrive at school, oh god here goes all the looks.

we get out of the car and walk up the his classroom. b-13. that was on the other side of the school, great. i cant explain to you how many looks i got. we finally arrived which felt like nine million years and i meet his teacher.

she was super friendly and she has fairly new because she had to of been around 25. she tells us where his seat is and we walk over there.

i sit him down and and put his spider-man back pack on the back of his chair.

"i'm gonna be back at 2 o'clock to pick you up. don't be scared to socialize with other kids and make friends. remember if anyone try's to be mean to you just ignore them and tell myself or the teacher, okay?"

"okay, bye mommy i love you" when jackson tells me he loves me it makes my heart melt

"bye buddy i love you more"

once i was about to stand up i hear a little girl tell her older brother something.

"look he has a spider-man back pack. i told you someone else would like spider man"

well hey. this is my first book and i'm not gonna proof read it so enjoy my dyslexia. i hope you guys enjoy the book and i'm hopefully gonna try and keep up with it. i love you🧡
