Well the first month of school is over and we are finally getting to the point of no tears. It is so nice to have my daughter go right into school and not have her tear my heart out with her. Last year she cried every single time I dropped her off, even though she had been there for months! This year she has a better main teacher, that her brother had his first year. It has made such a difference.
Son is finally liking the bus ride. After the ear infection (did I write about this?) cleared, he can handle the noise level. Plus his teacher made sure he rides up front, not in the back with all the big kids. I also am happy he is making some new friends besides our neighbor boy-who has turned into a know-it-all brat. I really can’t wait to move to get away from them! sounds horrible, but it is a very negative family. This is the family that is always complaining about money, but drives 100+ miles to go camping pulling a huge camper. Drives me nuts.
I need to get myself into a routine while both kids are at school. Today I plan to super clean the house. Then list a bunch of stuff on Craigslist. My housekeeping as really slacked lately, and it is driving me nuts. Our house is a disaster area, but not after 2pm today! Come on over and check it out!

We’re getting into the groove here, too and it’s divine. Only, it’ll be messed up by the arrival of the wee one. But hey, I like new routines.

First time reading your blog and this post gave me some hope about my son’s school breakdowns (kindergarten). Every other day he has a complete meltdown when I bring him to school and I keep thinking he’s going to get over it (it’s been 4 months now…). I know exactly what you mean about tearing your heart out. It’s a horrible way to start the day for both of us!
