Blah!

Last evening, I typed in a big long blahhhhg about Ryan's first soccer practice and my first day back at school.  It didn't save, so those of you poor saps who actually read this were spared the gory details.  I spent the last two days at school, sans students, preparing to start to commence to begin the school year with some sanity.  (Last year, I missed the first three weeks of school because my doctor was afraid I wouldn't hold up after the brain deal.) 

In any case, tomorrow is Robin's first day of first grade.  We spent the evening giving baths and labeling all of her stuff with her name...and gathering lunch materials together.  I think she's excited.  I KNOW she is tired.

Yesterday was also the children's first day with the Heffelman grandparents as day-caregivers.  Everyone was calm and happy when I picked them up.  Great day!  Today, however, I noticed that Grandma and Ryan were playing a game on the patio, but that Grandpa had moved to the middle of the yard to do his reading.  (Ryan was being too loud in his game chortling.  Robin was inside messing things up.)  Grandma looked a bit weary.  Judy has built teepees in her back yard and intends to make Native American outfits for the children, complete with feather headdresses.  Well!  Robin can't wait for that.  She wanted to see the feathers NOW.  And so it goes.  Tomorrow, once Robin is delivered to school, Judy will only have one child to worry about.  I'm wondering if she isn't already regretting volunteering for the child care biz...

I am as prepared for kids at school as I am going to be.  Let the games begin!
