The First Days of School!

The first days of school are over. Thankfully! While I've looked forward to these "everyone is in high school" days, I didn't think it through.... I forgot about hormones and messed up schedules and "what if I don't have lunch with anyone" (surely there will be at least one other person in the cafeteria?) and "I'm ready for it to be over" and the most god-awful of all, "I have preAP English with my SISTER!" I think most of the problems that we can solve are over. Daughter A's is out of Cross Country and into PE and French. Daughter B has a second period class (but this resulted in two Wilkinsons in the same English class). And JB...well, he still has schedule problems but I think he gets some kind of weird satisfaction out of dealing with such issues, and one of the screw up classes might be entertaining. He's got a shop teacher with a mouth like a sailor and a VERY laid back attitude. It makes for some laughs around the table.

I made it, too. First day of school with new kids and Parent Info NIght are both over. I've only been confronted once (by a "friend", no less), and I haven't killed any teammates. I think it's going to be a good year!
