FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

What beautiful words...the first day of school! I was ready for my kiddos to head back to school & so were they. They have spent the last week fighting & picking at each other. They are sick of each other & need a break. That break came on Wednesday. I didn't end up going back to work this year & will sub instead.

Both kids had good first days of school. Jake had little say, mostly things about recess & being done first. Allie didn't shut up for an hour after I picked her up. She told me who she played with at recess, who she had lunch with, all about the story they read, about some rules and so on.

I spent the day with friends celebrating the kid's big day. I did get some errands run as well, so the day wasn't all play! Today, it is back to reality...housework & laundry...tomorrow errands! I'd guess after Labor Day, I'll get into the swing of volunteering in each child's classrooms & I'd also guess that subbing jobs will start popping up. I don't think I'll be bored!
