School Started

I just realized how long it's been since I last blogged. I'm blaming it on school. I'm blaming everything on school these days. I'd forgotten how hard school was. It's almost more than I can handle. And I'm not even the one going. :)

After a great deal of angst and difficulty on my part*, Ruby and Cora started kindergarten. Here they  were waiting for the bus the first day and getting off the bus when they got home. They wanted to ride the bus the first day, so I let them. It stressed me out more than I expected. I blame that on Jenn and her children's first day of school bus riding experience. It's not too big a deal now that I know they know where they are going. In fact, today Ray took the girls to school (it was Donuts for Dads Day) and he said they showed him all around. It was the first time he'd made it to the school.

The girls love school. They are having all sorts of fun. They get to play outside three times every day. They also get to play inside. Beyond that I'm not sure what they do, that's pretty much all I hear about.

But back to me, since we all know this is all about me, I think school is trying to kill me. Or at least completely deprive me of sleep. Eda is doing her best to assist in the sleep deprivation department. We've also already had the first school sickness come home. Oh, the joys of school. Only how many more years to go?

I LOVE school. Okay, okay, I don't love school. In fact, I don't really even like school. But the girls are enjoying it and that is what really matters. They seem to be making friends and doing quite well. So I think I'll probably be able to survive.

*If you want to know my getting the girls in school story you can ask. I'm still a little unhappy about how it all happened, but I'm getting better.
