Back to Reality....

Yippee, Yahoo!!! School is back in session!!!!!!

Now, I absolutely adore my two handsome intelligent sons, but after a kiss at the door yesterday, I breathed a sigh of relief! It has been ONE CRAZY SUMMER!!!! I am in desparate need of some sort of routine to my life and now its time to start. It is so nice to hear.....nothing. No laughing, talking, fighting, asking me when I'll be finished on the computuer, whose turn it is, he had it last. I am so happy to see them when they get home and tell me about their day, but I LOVE SCHOOL!!

I admit I was a nervous wreck when Billy left for his first day of middle school (jr. high) yesterday. His two friends, Emily and Marissa, that we have known since they were 3 came to the door at 6:45 all adorable and giggly and ready for school and he walked out in between them, all 5 feet 9 inches, size 12 feet of him. A little piece of my heart broke right then and there. Of course I was waiting at the door to see how his face looked before I asked about his day and he was so happy and smiling! He has friends (good ones) in all his classes, likes his teachers and is looking forward to joining some clubs! I breathed a nice fat sigh of relief.. then I had to start filling out gazillions of forms (he didn't get homework, I did).

Matt also had a great day in 5th grade. His teacher is young and fresh and excited about the year. He is hoping to get high math placement (which he usually does) and has a couple football buddies in his class. His biggest concern this year was the shoes to buy.. DC's... Am I the only one out there that think these are totally ugly? I refuse to get heelies because I think they are dangerous and they also make you walk on your tiptoes.. (sorry for all you fun parents that like heelies!!!)

Anyway, day 2 and I am still smiling.....Hooray for school!
