First Day of School

Did you have a good Mothers Day today?

Here's the first day of school synopsis from our house...

Taylor:

"Hey Mom, remember how I said I needed you to buy me a violin, and I made you pay for summer music camp so I could learn how to play for my upcoming middle school Orchestra class?"

"Turns out I'm actually in Woodwinds. I now need a clarinet."



Matthew:

"Mom, did you know you were putting me on a bus with a temperature equivalent to Mordor?"



"A drink in my lunch probably would have helped the situation."



Evey:

"At school I didn't want recess to end, so I just stayed and played after the bell. Then I got lost finding my way back to class and the man with the mop had to help me find it."



Did I also mention she left school two hours early and rode home with the early-out kids? She is on the later school track, and just decided she was done for the day.

Does this look like the face of a kid who intentionally skips school?



Don't answer that.



Lily:

Actually, she is still not speaking to me since I refused to let her accompany Matthew on the school bus today.



To be honest, it was a very stressful day.

I am, however, feeling very optimistic and relaxed.

(That could be the highly caffeinated ibuprofen talking.)

I am officially calling a do-over.

Happy Mothers Day take two...

Tomorrow.
