I won't be sitting here at Blogger calmly drinking my coffee. I will either be anxiously checking for the bus while *calmly* urging Micah to hurry up already. Or (and this is my goal) I will just be waking the kids up & getting them breakfast. For the third year in a row we are the first stop for the big yellow bus. It seems kind of unfair that my littles have to get on the bus at 7am year after year. We are maybe two miles from the school and school doesn't start until 8:05. So then I get the people that tell me to quit complaining already & just drive them to school every day. Which is what I did last year since I had to take Ayla to preschool anyway. Let me tell you, the Mommy bus business gets old. Especially with a baby. Poor Kaia's nap was interrupted constantly last year. The good news is that my favorite workout class is at 8:30 on Mondays & Wednesdays. I just filled out the paperwork and requested that a Friday class be added as well. So, won't it be ideal if I'm able to work out three times a week and let my older kids sleep in at the same time? A perfect compromise as long as the bus garage insists on us being the first stop every year.
We took all (well most) of the school supplies in yesterday morning. In Ayla's classroom there was a notice telling us of some additional items that will be needed. Like there wasn't enough to begin with. Oh & after searching all over creation we finally found watercolor paints at Fleet Farm of all places. Check it out Jenny. The kids met their teachers & visited their classrooms. Micah continues to insist he's not excited to go back, but you should have seen him salivating over the shelves & shelves of books in his new room. You could have seen it if I'd have been organized enough to bring my camera along, but since I'm not you'll just have to use your imagination. Likewise when it comes to Ayla's "shyness" when she met her teacher. She is really not shy at all, but she acts so funny in some situations. I wanted to tell her teacher to ignore her first impression of Ayla, because it wasn't at all accurate.
I can hardly believe that next week I'll be home with just Kaia all day long. I just can't wrap my mind around it. I have lots of plans. The first item on the agenda is to grab a large trash bag & "clean" the kids' playroom. I'm so sick of not being able to walk in there. After that who knows.......The possibilities are endless!
