Today was my youngest's first day of school. Of course we were all very excited. I was a bit nervous because my son cried every day for the first six weeks of school, which was no picnic.
But, true to form, my daughter saw kids in line, told me she wanted to line up to, gave me a big wave good-bye and just walked into class. I said this was true to form because my daughter is pretty easy going in most ways but also because I was expecting it to be bad and the fact that it was the opposite of my expectations was the true to form part. I find that happens a lot with my kids.
So at 9:10 am I was home on my own ... no kids. I would like to say that I got straight to work since I had so much to do. But truthfully, I made myself a cup of chai and savoured the quiet. And then I got to work.
It's amazing what you can get done when you don't have two kids asking for food, help, attention, a band-aid, food, or a wipe of the face and/or bum.
