Back to School

As ridiculous as it sounds, beings as it's only the 17th of August, the kids started school today. Half of me is jumping for joy to have some quiet time for myself, but the other half is groaning because I'm not ready to face the morning rush OR the nagging homework time after school.

Michelle is starting second grade this year. So far she has had all the same teachers as Caleb has had. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing since Michelle and Caleb have such different personalities.


Caleb is starting 3rd grade this year which means he's already made it through half of elementary school since our school only goes through 5th grade. In some ways it's like time goes too slowly but then other times I realize how quickly he's growing up.

Megan is starting kindergarten this year. Her first day was actually today instead of Monday like the Caleb and Michelle. She was really excited and I don't think very nervous which is a good thing. I just spoke with Trevor, who took the kids to school and walked Megan into class, and he said that she shed no tears of separation which is a relief.

very cool. Kingston started his first day of first grade yesterday. an exciting step. I don't get to be involved as i want to be with his day to day schooling but at least I get to pay for his school lunches! (slight hint of sarcasm there)
