Lydia has been prepared (like bag packed) for weeks! She left Isaac and I in the parking lot! Isaac has been excited and prepared and went right into his classroom and forgot to give me my hug and kiss he'd promised. Josh was stressed out waiting behind buses and traffic and leaving our house later than planned. Even though Caleb had a list of stops to make once he got to school, he kept reassuring us calmly that we were making memories.
They will all be fine! It's everyone's first day of school, and things are not going to move as smoothly as they will even a week from now.
My list for the day? Car wash, chickens, dishes, laundry, lead storytime, grind wheat, bake bread, dinner.... The list goes on. Who said Mom gets time off when the kids are all in school?
