It is amazing that I have a 5th grader and a 1st grader. Time really does not stop no matter how we feel about it. Cara said her day was awesome, and her teacher told her she liked her outfit. Big praise to Cara. Allan said his day went really fast, and didn't feel like it should be over yet. Good signs for sure. We all had homework tonight, but somehow I ended up with the most :-) I am happy school is back in session, but missing last year a little. It was so amazing with the teachers we had and the experiences. Of course this year is going to be great too, I am sure, I just really loved last year. I took the day off today so that I could drop off the kids and pick them up. I love it! Of course I am melancholy now knowing that tomorrow it is back to reality, and getting them up at 5 so we can be to work by 7. Then working late so we have hardly any time together before bed. There are good and bad points to the schedule that I work, but I am still that stay at home mom wannabe. That will probably never fully go away. Hopefully the teachers we have this year will let me volunteer like last year's teachers did, because it takes some of the ache away from my heart.
My camera has breathed its final breath. Unfortunately I am without one for now. We took the 1st day of school pictures with Chris' phone, which is a nice back up in a pinch but not a good permanent solution. I am a huge photography buff, so being without a camera is awful! Hopefully we can get a new one before the holidays, because I am sure there will be pictures that need to be taken of Allan & Cara. Stuff to show the people back home and just to preserve the memories that are so quickly gone.
I hope everyone had a good first day that started today, and if you are lucky enough to still be on summer vacation, Enjoy It!
A little special love in this post goes out to my friend JAM, who is having a hard time right now. Peace and love for you my friend.
