first day of school

I feel so accomplished today. I woke up at 6am. Checked to make sure Cam was up. I checked on Jack. (he was still asleep in his toddler bed) I decided to take a quick bath. Get done, toss on clothes. Wake Grif up, take his clothes out for him as he is barely functioning. Make his lunch, get his breakfast ready. I then Get Jack up, change him in to clothes, feed him some dry cereal and a cup of chocolate milk. Fill up a water bottle for Grif as we are going to walk to the school. Cam's ride comes. (he won't walk, it is under a mile, his hair will curl up in the humidity, he is just as vain as his dad was! Drives me batty as I could care less what my hair does once I leave the house)

I wake up Riley and Jack, Grif and I walk to the elementary school. {It is humid out, Grif is sweating so bad his hair is drenched and sweat is in his eyes. I feel bad. } We wait in the correct lines and they start going in the school. I remind him his class is the first turn after the library, his room is 1 2 2 , and tell him his teachers name a million more times. I left and then feel INCREDIBLY guilty as 1/2 the parents are walking the kids in. I almost go back but then figured the worst happens is he freaks out, cries and he has to tell a teacher he is lost. I am trying to make him earn a bit more self confidence. He needs to speak up. I don't want to be a bully parent either.

I see Ri walking to school, well I see him and his friend meet up with GIRLS and then walk to school. I tell him school is the other way. He has plenty of time though. I am not ready for round #2. lol He is wearing his football jersey to help recruit a few BIG players for open tryouts today and tomorrow. Of course the jersey will attract a few extra girls we don't need! lol

Jack and I come home. Call a lady who has a pack n play play pen. I run to the bank, stop at BK for breakfast for Jack and I and to break a 20$. They sold everything but that so she just wanted 15$ for it. I get it and it is much newer and a nicer model than my old one. It is the John Lennon Imagine pattern with wheels and a side pocket. It doesn't look used at all! I am so happy I called. The lady who placed the ad lives north of us, about an hour but it was at her MIL's who lives in my town. She works at the mall, so I met her there.

I come home. Set it up. I am done with my morning stuff by 9:30 am. I need to go renew library books online and I can relax until 2 when I get Grif. Chris is off today, but who knows when he will be awake. He has been working long hours this week. I will let him sleep as long as he wants. He just better not expect me to stay up past 10 tonight cause I won't be able to.
