First Day of School

I know I said that my posts wouldn't be close together, but I had a quick minute to update you on the first day of school. Well, yesterday was a busy day for all of us. We went to church (it was pouring rain when we got out), grab some fried chicken for lunch via Hardee's, (sometimes fast food is nice when you can get it, just so you don't have to clean the kitchen), then Kevin left and went to work. When Madalyn took a nap, I had to take one too; I was so tired.) Then once she woke up, we went to Wal-Mart for some things I needed for school today and for a few grocery items. I learned a lesson, don't go shopping anywhere that sells school supplies the night before school starts! Come on people, you have known the date of when school would start since school got out for the summer, and you've had the school supply list all summer, don't wait until the last minute. Then after Madalyn went to bed, I spent a few hours on the computer. By the time I got in bed, Kevin had only been a sleep for about 30 minutes, when he had to leave to go to the chicken houses. He got a total of 3 hours of sleep last night, so  needlessly to say, I sent him to bed at 8:30 because he was asleep on the couch.  First day of school: I dropped Madalyn off with Mrs. Katie at 6:00 (which this evening I found out both of them got back in bed and went back to sleep, lucky them! ;0), and headed to school. Why so early you ask? Well, at 3 minutes to 7:00, I had my first student in my classroom. so I had about 45 minutes this morning to finish getting things ready for the day before this little guy came in.  If all of the kids on my roll show up, I have 23 students.  I have three kids that I haven't seen yet, however, new students to the school just keep coming and coming. We will be full this year I can tell you that.  It was a good first day despite the rain this morning...so 179 more days to. I have to go 190 as a teacher, but I only count the days with students that require teaching.  If you had a first day of school today whether you were a teacher, a student, or your children went to school, I hope the year started off right.
