Back to School
We are getting back into a routine, finally. After lazy mornings where everyone wakes up whenever they want, it seems like getting everyone ready and out the door by 7:30 will be impossible. Somehow, it just works. We start enforcing a stricter bedtime, which isn’t too difficult because the kids are worn out from the busier routine. I am thankful everything is going smoothly so far.
One thing that is very annoying to me (though I understand the rule on PE days) is the tennis-shoes-every-day request. Not every outfit that my daughter wears looks good with tennis shoes. Yesterday, she wore a dress with leggings, so she wore her crocs. I figured it would not be an issue since it was the first week, but OF COURSE, it just so happened that Wednesday was her PE Day. Instead of finding something she could safely do in crocs (um, everything?), the teacher (anti-crocs) sent her back to the classroom. She had to sit out of PE completely. Thankfully, she wasn’t bothered by this, so I did not call and complain, but I was annoyed. We had not yet received a schedule, so I had no way of knowing that was PE day. It was the second day of school..couldn’t she have cut her some slack?!
Of course, all the necessary paperwork came home last night. Now I know that PE is on Wednesdays and I will not break the rules again!
My goals for today are:
1-Vacuum and wash my van. It is a PIT. I cleaned out all the unnecessary papers and junk and washed the windows. I need to wipe everything down and vacuum the inside. If I have enough energy after that, I am hoping to get the outside washed. It’s been awhile.
2-Make well check-up appointments for both kids. I should have done this over the summer, but I didn’t.
3-Finish getting letters of reference for substitute teaching. I am finishing my class Monday night and this is one of the things I have to do. I can’t believe how fast it has gone. I have learned a lot and am almost sad to see it ending so soon!
Off I go…
