1st, 2nd, & 5th Grades. First day of school 2009
Today is the first day of school. It’s also the first time I’m sitting in silence since May 14th. It’s a weird feeling and the quietness is making me extremely sleepy. I know I’m way sleep-deprived. Which mom isn’t ?
I guess I’m glad school has started back. I can honestly say that this summer flew by quicker than any I can remember. And yes, I think I can remember most of them. I’m not sure how I’m going to feel doing all the homework and the crazy afternoons. I’m not going to like those. I spoke to dh again about homeschooling. I still entertain that idea. He will never go for it. He never has. Too concerned about "socialization". Ack. Personally, there are times when I’d like to just keep my kids in a bubble.
Instead of sitting here blogging, I should be cleaning up the tornado house. Hmm, maybe not. I think it’s important for my children to see my thoughts. To know how their mom was really feeling. I’m concerned for Juliana. She is so afraid of her teacher and of having homework. She keeps telling me, "I do not know how to do homework." Poor baby. And then there’s Tob. He got the strictest teacher in 5th grade and he is so worried about his handwriting. She takes off for handwriting. He is so worried about it that last night he was actually crying about it and asked me to hire someone to help teach him how to write better. Last but not least is Gray. Gray. What can I say ? He is going to sail through 2nd grade. He got an awesome, loving teacher and I’m sure he will have a wonderful year. Sometimes when I’m worrying about #1 and #3 I forget that I should worry about #2 (Gray).
So, those are my thoughts right now. I need to go put on some coffee and music and start tackling the mess.
Ps: I’ll add the first day photos later.
