So all the build up is over. Mom and Dad's money is all spent on shiny new pencil boxes, pink rubber erasers, and folders with duckies and kittes on them. The outfits have been set out, the arm pits have been washed and the "bed time" has regained its popularity. It was the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Josh and Megan
jumped slowly drug themselves out of bed, ready for the day. I made them a delicious breakfast sandwich with fresh rolls, scrammbled egg and ham. Slathered with just a little mayonaise. I made this because they asked for it.
Both of them asked for it. Megan ate hers. Josh, in his usual difficult-ness... didn't like his. So a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich helped fill his belly. Next they got their clothes on and brushed their teeth. I helped Megan fix her hair and pick out her shoes.
It was PICTURE TIME!!! It was
blissful Stressful!! "Josh stand still, Josh, look here, Josh don't touch her, Josh, here... Josh, here, JOSH HERE!!!"
In normal Western PA fashion, there was quite a chill in the air. Megan states "mom, I'm cold". My reply "go get a coat". Attempt 1...coat had chocolate ice cream down the front and on the arms. Attempt 2...had a nice grease stain on the front. Of course there are tears now and yelling about how I wash CLEAN clothes all the time, but when it comes to DIRTY clothes, they never seem to make it in the wash. Attempt 3... WORKS, its clean. But pulling it over her head makes her hair staticky. ((UH...Really?)
"Josh don't throw rocks at the chicken". "Josh, don't throw rocks at the cat". "Josh, Don't throw rocks across the road". "Josh, ONLY throw rocks at the trees."
The bus pulls up...GET ON THE BUS, GET ON THE BUS!!!!OH THANK GOD THEY GET ON THE BUS!!!!!
((BIG SIGH))......... my 6th grader and my 1st grader are ready to go... up the steps and off they go.
