1st Day of School

4 kids 4 different schools this year. 

4 different modes of transportation.  

4 different pickup times.  4 different arrival times.

2 parents doomed for exhaustion.

Let the school year begin...

#1: Freshman. Still doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up. Still 100% Daddy’s girl. Still my BFF. But still a teenager that gets annoyed with us and annoys us at times too. She’s going into High School excited and confident.  I pray she stays that way. 

#2:  6th grade. Wants to be rich and famous when he grows up but doesn’t want to work for it. Possible options are YouTuber or Fortnite Champion. 😒 Was a total nervous wreck this morning but will never admit it. Wouldn’t hug his mom back and would only fist bump his dad. Almost missed the bus. I hope it’s all uphill from here. 

#3:  1st grade.  Wants to be a Police Officer when he grows up. He was excited to ride the bus again and couldn’t wait to get to school.  Not too cool yet for momma selfies or hugs.❤️ I pray he behaves better at school than at home and is kind to his teacher and friends. 

#4:  Pre-K.  He also wants to be a Police Officer when he grows up. It’s not really his first day but he had to have a backpack and lunch box like the big kids and had to have his picture taken too. He was sad he couldn’t ride the bus with #3 and can’t wait to go to the big kid school next year. I, on the other hand, would like to freeze him. 

I hope and pray they all have a safe and successful school year. I pray they make good choices, do their best and are kind to everyone. And I pray that homework time doesn’t drive us all to the brink of insanity. Amen.
