School Daze

School was somewhat successful last week. Jaxon attended Monday but wasn't supposed to go back until Thursday (our school limits the number of children in each kindergarten class the 1st week of school...that way there are only 6 or so kids each day; it's a wonderful adjustment for children and teachers). Gracie went Monday through Wednesday. Schools were closed Thursday and Friday thanks to Tropical Storm Fay. Therefore, today was Jaxon's 1st day with a full classroom. We rode our bikes to school, and everyone is geared-up for a full week of classes (hopefully). Jax was quiet when I left him in his classroom (imagine that), and Gracie was her usual confident self (she says 2nd grade is, "awesome!").

I returned home to a quiet house. I am suddenly in unfamiliar territory...what is this silence...what do I do....where do I start....I will be the 1st to admit that Jaxon starting school has been difficult on me. I think I am finally adjusting to the fact that my my last child is now in school (where he shall remain for MANY years). I was asked to be his homeroom mom (I know...what were they thinking), and I agreed (I know...what was I thinking). At least I will be very involved in his class (I also volunteer in the classroom one day a week just like I did with Gracie). I have cleaned this morning and obviously blogged (and uploaded some pictures to picasaweb); I am quite sure I will be able to keep myself very busy!

It's about time to bike over to the school to get my little ones. Hopefully Jax had time to eat his lunch today (apparently that didn't go so well his 1 day of school last week).
