tomorrow is the first day of school. our lives are about to be temporarily turned upside-down. no more leisurely mornings...we'll have to be up with the sun. it will be interesting to see how punkin deals with all of this, not to mention myself and the captain.
i have been reading a book that has helped me a lot to chill out about this whole "new school" thing. i know that most of the anxiety and worry we feel is a result of our own experiences with school. i personally don't remember my "first day" being particularly traumatizing, but i do fast-forward to junior high in my mind a lot, and that period of time was definitely tough. the captain has said that he remembers his "first day" and that it was very hard for him. he's a little more uptight about tomorrow than i am.
the only thing that bothers me, if i let it, is the change of schedules. i don't mind getting up early - i do that anyway. i am not looking forward to sitting in a long line of parents waiting to drop their kids off and then again in the pick-up line. i am not looking forward to putting my foot down in the morning about punkin getting up, dressed and ready. she likes to hang out and watch a little tv in the morning, but that won't be happening anymore. i know we'll be able to do this blindfolded in a couple of weeks, but i am still praying for a smooth transition for everyone.
will someone send me some motivation?? i have 100 things i need to do but i can't kick myself into gear to do them! i did get the things i need to provide cheesy games for the baby shower i am supposed to be helping to host this weekend. i need to get the cat to the vet. she's been having some weird skin thing to where she freaks if we touch her back. this morning, she took a chunk out of punkin's hand! it was funny afterward, though, because the cat would not leave punkin's side. you could tell how sorry she was. i also took punkin to the dentist this morning, just to be told once again how she will need braces. her 2 adult teeth are coming in tres crooked! but we expected that.
is it friday yet?
