And it begins again!

School has started and we are trying to get used to the routine again.  The first few days went great. We were all up on time, the backpacks and lunches were where they are supposed to be, and hair and teeth brushed 20 minutes before "go-time." This lasted for two days. Now, we are back into rousing and turning on lights, and practically pulling out of bed. We are on day eight of the school year. Oye.  Remember that bed that George Jetson had? The one that would pull him out of bed and throw him into the shower? I think it would even brush his teeth for him. Surely, some mom could come up with a similar invention. They would make millions!!

Here are the obligatory first day pics...

The whole crew:

I have to note that the camera time stamp on this pic is 7:38 a.m.!!
Proof that we were on time for at least one day this year.

Simon and I start school next week.  Yep, I am going "back to work." I will be the Assistant Teacher in Simon's K3 Preschool class. I am actually looking forward to getting out of the house a few mornings of the week. It will be good for all of us.  Mommy needs to be forced to get out.  I have found the less time I spend at home the more I get done during the time I am at home. Does that make sense?

Well, speaking of getting stuff done, I have a long to-do list that needs attending to.

Have a great school year everyone!!
