Been there done that.

Yesterday was the first day back since the storm for most schools in my area. Yesterday was also my sons first day of preschool. It was supposed to be last week but ya know...... Yes I did do a little sniffling the night before and as much as I wanted to say,"What will I do without you all morning?" I kept it to myself. I wanted him to have a positive attitude about the whole thing. We got ready and got to the school in plenty of time. Then the hard part. I couldn't walk him into his room, I had to drop him off at the door of the school. Parents aren't to get out of their cars. The teachers take them out of the car and walk them indoors and we drive away. That is the hardest thing for THIS mom let me tell ya.

SO.........While he was gone I put all that nervous energy to work for me. I dusted, swept, vacuumed,made beds,did laundry,cleaned the ceiling fans, did dishes, and baked cookies. That wasn't enough to fill the time till I had to pick him up though. I know it will get to be more routine to me but it's just so odd right now. I got to the school what I thought was WAY early to get a good spot in line and there were already people in front of me. It made me feel better to know that I wasn't the only one obsessing about this. He did great. When he got into the truck he said he'd had a looonnngggg day and was ready to go home! What did he like the most about his first day of school? He got to jump in the bouncy house. (The storm blew down the fence around the playground so they had to stay inside.) That's a good day in any kids book isn't it?

Today I got him up and when it came time for us to start getting him ready for school he looks at me and says,"I have to go to school today?" I told him that he did. He says,"Do I have to go to school EVERYDAY?" I told him that he only had to go 3 days a week. To that he sighed and told me that he'd just rather stay home. I wish.
