About the First Day of School

Ok, so you think you only have so many 1st days of school in your life that you must suffer through...well it's my personal self choice of hell FOREVER. I don't know why I get so freakin' anxious, nervous, nauseated, etc... but it happens every year. Although I do have to say that this year the first day went rather smoothly...so much so that I am left wondering what I forgot and where...a child in the bathroom, didn't explain the agenda, recess, who knows at this point honestly. I haven't got all their faces down yet, or their parents, so maybe someone went home with the wrong adult...haha...not really funny. The personal hell includes all of these wonderings and more...it also involves children not able to tie shoes, button and unbutton pants (sometimes), sharpen pencils, read instructions and the agenda, and they don't know where everything is in the room. I mean I just groomed and molded 22 fantastic children to do all those things by themselves including reading like there is no tomorrow, and now alas I am back to babies again and it is THE hardest thing to revert my mind to where it needs to be to accept these new kiddos. I have to bring the patience to the forefront and times it by a million, and also remember to repeat myself a gajillion times....aargghhh! If you would like to know more about the first few days of school feel free to stop by for an in person experience (& see how much patience you have)...we love visitors!
