Knowing me, knowing you is the best I can do...from one of my favorite songs by ABBA. I'm just sitting here listening this trying to break the quietness of having no kids in the house. The cats are not as noisy as the kids, so its just not the same. Yet, Patrick is just as annoying at times! Since school has started last week, he has waited to take his nap until the kids come home. That's rather nice of him to do that. I think..he's sitting here at my desk in front of my keyboard, so one arm underneath him and another above his tail so I can type!
Speaking of the kids..think they are enjoying their first week in school. My son is in the 4th grade this year. He wasn't happy when he came home on the first day since they split him from his friends. Actually, they did that to the whole class. The 3rd grade class of last year is split among 5 4th grade teachers. I'm not thrilled that they did that this year. One of the things it means is that the smartest class was split up. I'm just hoping that my son is not bored by Christmas. I did tell the teacher my concerns, and that I was not happy what happen. I told her that if I saw her at the beginning of open house, it would have been worse since I was just very upset. Luckily, I had some PTO stuff that I had to do which help me to cool off by the time I met her. So far this week has been a bit better, since my son has seen his friends outside on the playground during recess. I think that's a fair compromise.
My oldest daughter is her usual herself already this year. Only a week into the school year, and she's telling that she doesn't want to go. That's what she said this morning. Then she was clinging to me as the bus was coming to pick her up. She got on the bus, but I don't know if she was happy about it. I think she just wants to sleep! I agree with her that the elementary school just starts way too early. When I was her age, I remember starting school about 9 a.m., and I had a hard time getting up for that! I'm not a morning person, and neither is my daughter. She's got to used to it sooner or later. I've bribed her (I know that you can't do that but I have) with a new pair of boots. There are pink furry ones that she wants from Target. So if she can wake up with no problems for the next month, maybe I'll get her those boots.
My youngest has been happy a few minutes after she wakes up. It takes her a good 5 minutes to get up out of bed. She said a few days ago to wait until her sleepy head was awake! I thought that was cute. This morning she wanted a ponytail to keep her neck cool. She looked soo cute! I think that's she been having fun at school, meeting new people, etc. It sucked how the other day she was sick and had to miss the second day of school. I just couldn't believe it. Hopefully, that's not a sign of things to come. I hope that she'll make it through the school year healthy.
A week of school, and already a three day weekend! Can't beat that! Its Labor day weekend now, so that means that summer is officially over. :( Then again it means that my favorite season is approaching! I can't wait to see the leaves change color and fall. Then pumpkin picking!! Can't wait.
I've babbled enough for those who actually read this posting. Anyone?? Hello out there.....
