The kids all went back to school on Tuesday. All of them! Gone! All Day! I took the day off to rejoice in the quiet. It was a fine way to spend my last day of vacation.
3rd grade, Pre-K, 2nd Grade
Everyone is happy with their new teachers and classmates so far. We had a fantastic turnout at our welcome back picnic last night. the year is off to a great start!
Eddie came home today excited because he has his first textbook. And he needs to cover it. I told him I would get a paper bag at the store, and he looked at me like I had 7 heads. What, do kids not do that anymore?
Anyway, I couldn’t be happier to be back on schedule, back in a routine, and back to a quiet work day.

Two thumbs up to QUIET.
Um paper bags no. Now you have to buy that fancy sticky paper shit that covers them. Or those stretchy fabric covers. Come on. Like anything would be that easy anymore. I used to love that shit. Then I could color all over it.
You buy BOOK COVERS now, sheesh Mom.
I used to LOVE the paper bag covers to color in. But noooooo, even teachers are specifying the stretchy fabric kind now. BUT! THAT’S NO FUN!
Enjoy the silence. 🙂
