Hey Guess What!!!

[PrincessNancy96]

Mine are DSS26...just bought his first house

DS20...just left for his job...junior in college

DS16...still sleeping...junior in high school...will be driving himself to school starting this year....

sigh...

No more car pool.. what will you do??

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It'll be okay.

I'll be nervous wreck...just like when DS20 started driving to school. He will have to call or text me that he got there OK for a few weeks. I'm sure I'll be shedding those tears when my baby is driving down the driveway on the first day. For 2 weeks we still have to carpool though, he can't drive alone till Sept.

The other car pool mom said he can follow her on the route for a few days...then I think she will just be following him

I would so be doing the same thing.. another reason we got text msg. over the weekend so if there was an emergency she could txt me.. especially when on the bus.. can't never hear w/ screamin' kids in the bkgd. "what, who, where?"

They haven't completed the repairs in our student parking lot...so here is hoping they have enough parking spaces today..because if they invade the teacher parking lot I'm sure there will be a mass lecture to ensue on the kids...yet the issue is totally out of the control of the kids..and should have been completed this summer.. I mean it's been tore up since the weekend after school let out.. June 1... so why the heck could that have NOT been finished by lets say Aug 1!

We have 22 days until school starts, but we'll be spending 12 of those in Florida, so I know the time will fly. DD#1 is starting middle school and DD#2 is entering first grade. I'm a bit nervous for #1 but she doesn't appear nervous at all and I hide my feelings about it. I don't cry on the first day of school, though, I happy dance. I love them but they've been home all summer and pretty bored and driving me up a wall, so I'll be happy to get us all back into the school routine.

PN96, the parking lot thing could happen for a lot of reasons. We had hoped to have new carpeting installed in some of the classrooms over the summer, we started the process to get the funding approved back in April, but one obstacle after another made it impossible. It's very frustrating.

I still get teary-eyed at remembering the first day of school and it's long gone for me. Dds are 27 & 25 respectively, and sometimes, I really miss those little girls planning their first day outfits, taking pictures, making lunches, buying supplies...you know the list!

Enjoy these days - they go way too quickly.

Now I'm teary-eyed again. I miss my babies!

 

[aroyer]

I shed a few tears until the little boy I watched told me to quit being a big baby they were "only going to school"...

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

Glad you guys are off and running today! Have a drink for me!

We don't go back for a few weeks ... I wish it was summer vacation all year round!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Thanks all!!!

DS7 did try to talk us into letting him skip this year and start school next year.. He is now trying to figure out why we go to school for 2 years.. 2008 and than we get out in 2009! We were trying to explain that a school year runs differently than a calendar year. I plan to sit down tonight and show him the "school year" in a calendar version and that he really is not going to school for 2 years just 9 months.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yeah, I got him back.. I have him totally convienced that when I drop him off at preschool 3 days a week.. I'm going to pull away, stop the van get out and do the happy dance and scream.. "I'm kid free! I'm kid free!"

He looked at me and said I bet you chicken out!

He better be ready for the show!

I'd like to see the show too!

 

[ddavis860]

Hope someone has a camera for that one...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Loved his day!
Loves his teacher!

Ate lunch with his girl-friend.. they have been in class all 3 years together!!
She is an only child so has separation anxiety issues from mom...so DS helps with this... and she feels more comfortable and the drama isn't as bad...

He brought his science book home to read some pages with us... and he kept tellin' the teacher how funny it is that she and DD have the same first name... and of course that he loved seeing the baby at the fair!!!

So far so good...and he ate all his lunch!!!

the little girl I baby sit for is ready to tell me about her excitement so I'm off to see how her day went..

had to fill out DS's paperwork first before anything...because if he brings everything back completed he gets a treat.. of course he said the teacher told me..that I should have no problem earning these treats because if mom could drive them back to school after she filled them out they'd be turned in before she left to go home! LOL These teachers all know me so well!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Hope someone has a camera for that one...

LOL! Nope, I do not set the timer and run to pose as my children have been found to do.. Where did that photo come from? I didn't take that.. Oh no mom... I did!

I did get photos come off the bus today too!!! That is the first time I've thought to do that one!!! I even got my HS/MS kids getting on the bus..can't get them coming off the bus because they have after school practices...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yeah!!

I'll tell more later!!!
We have to deal w/ homework!!!

 

[Lisa]

knock, knock, Nancy, you still concious after all that celebrating with a libation of choice today?

Seriously, glad everyone did well on the first day of school.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yep, I'm ready to toast again tomorrow just for the fun of it...because it seems the rest of y'all don't start for another few weeks.. what is with that? LOL
