{let's just pretend that i'm caught up on this here blog. and that you know all about how kindergarten went. and you know all about our fun summer, etc. & let's dive into a new era...one where momma gets her booty in gear & actually updates this journal of the russky's life!}
6am. snooze. 6:09am. snooze. 6:11am. crud! what time is it?! get up! first day of school!!! can't be late like you were to sort pta school supplies or for meet the teacher day!!! {more on momma over-sleeping later! hmm...interesting...now i know why nick asks me "did you get enough sleep last night momma?" just about every morning!}
* arouse the russky at 6:40 ... check
* still rubbing the russky's back & coaxing outta bed at 6:50 ... check
* finally up & dressed {& looking so handsome i might add!} at 7:00 ... check
* breakfast eaten {sausage wrapped in pancakes & blueberries} ... check
* teeth brushed & face washed {sorta ... missed a bit of the syrup on the ol' cheek, but that's what mommas are for, right?} ... check
* hair brushed & blow dried {yeah...that won't last long, but gotta look good for the 1st day!} ... check
* healthy snack packed in new backpack {grapes...i heart that this kid hearts fruit!} ... check
* new shoes on the peets {i have to brag about my victory too...he got two new pairs of shoes for school - one plain ol' normal non-light-em-up's & one star wars light-em-up's. somehow i managed to convince him that he should save the star wars for day two. he had already taken his melatonin...was perhaps a little groggy...maybe i didn't win all that fairly...but...what can i say? i know i won't be able to pick out his clothes forever, so i'll take it for as long as i can!} ... check
* rush to get in the car to drive one block to school at 7:25am {yeah, yeah, yeah...i'll reduce our carbon footprint tomorrow...i have school supplies to sell to new kids so can't be late!} ... check
* sad because daddy worked at the fire station yesterday & didn't make it home in time to wish him a good day {at least he got to talk to him on the phone & he'll get to see him later today!} ... check
* walk as sloooooooly as possible up to the school ... check & double check
* hide behind momma while being told "good morning!" & "have a great 1st day!" by the principal & teachers in the hallways ... check
* run into a few friends in the hallway while walking to classroom...momma thinking this would lift his spirits & bring him outta his shell but not so much ... check
* take picture in front of locker {whether he smiles or not! took two outta spite!} ... check
* wander around the classroom looking for his desk {couldn't remember & got a little nervous about this process - apparently kris walked him to it 4 times at meet-the-teacher day, but...well...he is a boy & boys don't have the greatest of memories ya know!} ... check
* tell "mrs egg-wargs" {aka "mrs edwards" to us laypeople...will he ever have a teacher who's name he doesn't have a hard time pronouncing?!} good morning ... check
* run back to momma for one last minute hug, tears in eyes, saying "but i just wanna stay home with you!" {momma's heart melts!} ... check
* wave to momma & sit at desk ready to take on the world at 7:40am ... check!
so. now i'm sitting at home. in a completely quiet house. trying to figure out what the heck i'm gonna do with my day! it sure goes by supa fast so i better figure it out quickly. i suppose i'll drag myself kicking & screaming to the grocery store. not a fan...but sure beats going with a russky in tow!
