First Day of School

Well, today was a day filled with firsts, my first day of school, college that is and my children's first day in day care.

It started with an early wake up call at 5:30am, I need some time to wake up so I turned the alarm off and went back to sleep, at 6:00 am the alarm went off again, this time I couldn't ignore
it, as much as I wanted to. I got up, showered and dressed. I then got my daughter up, great news she and her bed were dry!!! Can you tell we're potty training? I sent her to the bathroom and helped her get dressed while Daddy was getting Bubby ready. I grabbed a bite to eat and we actually made it out the door by 7:00 am, on time for once in our lives.

My first stop was to drop the kids off at daycare, DD (darling daughter) ran straight to her classroom and started playing, DS (darling Son) was much more hesitant and came running back to me crying. Since I have run an in-home-daycare for the last several years, I know that it takes a while for kids his age to adjust, so after hugging him for a few minutes we left. The next stop was to take Daddy to work, he ended up being a half-hour early, maybe that will be the redeeming factor to me turning the house upside down by going back to school!

I got to school with plenty of time to find my first class, Business Math, it was good. I like my instructor and think it will be very beneficial to me, although learning how to balance a checkbook was a little easy! Oh well, that just means my home work tonight will be that much easier.

I had an hour and a half before my next class, Comp 1, so I went and picked up my calculator I needed for my Math class and grabbed a snack out of the car to hold me over till supper time. I found the room where my next class was going to be and since there was a table right outside the door I parked myself right there and pulled out my laptop to try and get connected to the Internet. After a few tries, I succeeded and spent the next hour checking my email and browsing the web. Comp 1 looks to be a very fun class... a lot of work but a lot of fun as well.

I am very impressed with the fact that, so far, my teachers are not interested in shoving rules down us, but want to help us learn how to apply our knowledge in the real world!


My first day of classes was done, now it was time to go pick up the kids and see how they did in their new environment. It was nap time when I reached the day care so I picked up my little sleepy heads and brought them home, they played computer games and watched TV while I set up this blog and started on my homework!

Well, I've got to go eat supper before I starve to death, so I'll see you in class!!!
