It's The First Day of School!!!!!
I was nice to see the bus stops full this morning with well dressed children. Their backpacks full of crisp new paper, sharpened pencils, iPods. This is the 21st century after all. It was a good feeling seeing all the kids this morning. To me, it means the end of summer. Autumn is just around the corner. I could even feel it in the air this morning while I was walking. Yea, I walked. I need to step back into my program. I was apparently on vacation from it and didn't even realize it. Ok, I realized it and I just didn't care.
Autumn was very excited to be going back. Even though she's going back to a school that a week ago demolished the 5th and 6th grade wings and set up portables on the basketball courts. She was out of the shower, dressed and had hair braided all before 6:15. She's a giant school nerd just like her Auntie and I wouldn't have it any other way. Some of her teachers from 5th grade moved up to 6th. She's very happy to have her favorite teacher (Math & P.E.) from last year as her homeroom teacher this year. I can't wait to hear about her first day!
