School

Today was the first day of school for Buddy and Noodle. Buddy is in 3rd grade with Mrs. Wardle and Noodle is in 1st grade with Mrs. Gurr. So I am at home from 8/AM until 2:15/PM with Lewlew. I must say, I didn't want school to start. I like the easy, laid back schedule of summer. But I'm sure I would get tired of it eventually. It's good for them to go back and have a more strict schedule and of course to learn. They are on the early track - 8:00 - 2:15. The later track is 9:15 to 3:30. I'm not sure which is worse. The 8:00 is difficult (I know, cry me a river) but we're a "sleep in" type of family. But the 3:30 is a killer too. Buddy seems to do better on the early track so that's what we went with. It's hard to see half the class leave at 2:15 while the other half stays for another hour and 15 minutes - even though they got to school an hour and 15 minutes later. I can't say that I blame him. And I SURE wasn't going to have them on 2 different schedules! We're just going to have to adapt - of course I'm saying that more to me than to them. Wish us luck - especially me - we're going to need it!!
