I was so excited that today was the first day of school, and now that it’s finally here……I really, really, REALLY can’t wait for tomorrow.
See, today is just a teaser. I had kids that couldn’t sleep last night, they were so excited that they were going to go to school tomorrow, and when I woke up to feed the baby at 4am – I found a middle sized child alseep in the floor in the hallway. Lovely, eh?
No, it wasn’t sleep walking or sleeping or whatever you want to call it. She had a whole bed of blankets and pillows all laid out. Whatever she did obviously took some planning and effort on her part, and she must have done it AFTER we went to bed around 10:30pm or so…little goof ball!
I am SO excited that it’s fall. This always seems like the beginning of a year. It’s like I get two new years…one in the fall, and the normal one in January. Do you feel like that, too?
Anyway, I was talking about today, and how I was so excited, but really it’s just a joke, because the kids are all home before lunch time. SERIOUSLY! Who planned this? Not a parent, obviously! Mind you, I don’t deal with separation anxiety and so I have no crying children wanting to be with me and no crying parents wanting to be with the children.
So, I am thrilled with my quiet moments this morning, and then will be even MORE thrilled with my quiet day tomorrow.
I think Siah is thrilled for the quiet too. It’s been a bit of a “maulled” summer. Siah has been a GIANT DOLL, and while that can be fun for the older kids….yah…not so much for the baby or the mom.
Well, I’m off to make the most of my “quiet time” They’ll be ready for pick up, WAY TOO SOON!
I barely had the 3 girls dropped off, the older one registered at high school, a quick trip to the bank and it was time to pick the 3 girls up then drop them off then go back and get the oldest…..YAH SO FUN NOT
oh well, they all made a friend at their new schools and so that was great.
Hi Patti Yes I usually feel like a beginning of the year in Sept. too. This Sept. is a little different but I think it will be good. Spent a good part of my day with Heidi But got out to my garage about 4p.m. and have just decided it was bedtime but of course had to cccccheck the e mail, seems I get mostly junk mail these days. Guess I need to do a little more communicating from this end. Glad you had a good day. Your little guy is such a sweetie. Love you Grandma
