Who Sleeps in on the First Day of School?

Who sleeps in on her first day of school? Well I'll tell you who.... Caitlin! Yes she was an hour late on the first day of school because she didn't wake up until it was time for school to start! At 7:00 I was thinking that I didn't hear her in the kitchen. Abby came in my room and I asked her if Caiti had already left for school she said, "I think so" I should have gone right down to check because I had a feeling that she wasn't up but I said to myself "Who sleeps in on the first day?"... Ellie came in at about 7:15 and I asked her to run down and make sure that Caiti had left for school. At about 7:20 Caiti came running frantically into my room with her disheveled hair and PJ's and said "I just woke up! I can't go to school like this!" I agreed that she definitely could not go to school like that and that she was just going to have to be late! (School starts ant 7:25!) Luckily it was her "Productions" class and she has a lot of friends in that class. When she finally arrived at school her Friends chimed "Good Morning Caitlin!" Her teacher said "Oh, good we're all here now!" That was so unlike Caiti, but she is a very deep sleeper! And we were used to staying up late and sleeping in!

Then Abby had lost her schedule! She had gotten it out so much to compare with her friends that we don't know what happened to it! She had to go a few minutes early to get a copy printed at the office. That is like a bad dream that I think we've all had about not knowing where your next class is... or forgetting your locker combination or something like that! It all worked out and she made it to all her classes!!

Then Ellie started to feel sick before school. I ended up bring her home early. Poor little girl! She came home and regrouped and felt much better the next day! It was just nerves but it made her very sick! She really is liking 6th grade! I think it will be great year for her! She is very responsible and likes to get her homework done right away when she gets home. I'm very proud of all my girls. They are truely amazing and I love them very much!

I started back at work on Monday as well. It went good. We were all commenting how after being back for a couple of days it seemed like we just started back where we left off in June and like we hardly had a break at all! It's a very great job and I'm very lucky to work with such amazing women! As much as I like my job...I really would rather just be home and be a Mom! Maybe next year..it was great to have the summer off!

I really need to get some photos on here! Sorry!
