First Day of School

Everyone was seen off to school this morning. I am officially a stay-at-home mom with no kids home for approximately the next four hours.  Then I will be a full time college student mom.  In those four hours of luscious freedom I plan to do laundry in peace, and catch up on my trashy reality T.V. shows because I am exciting like that.

There was a “pitty” party in the cafeteria complete with donuts, coffee, and Kleenex for the buckets of tears to be shed by heartbroken helicopter moms of new kindergartners.  I was invited in by a teacher, but declined because I will be hosting my own pitty party at the auto shop later this afternoon when I pick up my van.  I’m sure I will see my mechanic rolling around on the ground in my enormous pile of cash as I pull out of the parking lot.   But I digress…  Me?   I felt like doing a cartwheel on my way out of the school house doors and yelling “so long suckers!!!  Mu-hahahahahaha!!!!”  If Mr. T was there I would ask him to say “I pitty the foo’ who don’t take advantage of thier tax dollars hard at work.”  Aaron and I high fived in the parking lot.

I kid.  I kid.

But but we did high five in the parking lot.  Next to the first time Jack understood “bring Mommy the remote honey” this is one of the best days of my life.

    Yes I laughed at all the mom’s with their first time public schoolers and their cameras yesterday. I waved goodbye to Griffon and told him to meet Cy after school at the flag pole, then I sneaked a peek at Cy in his big fourth grade class. I am at home right now and I have quit my job. Really should have a new job before u quit your old one. We got Jack’s letter yesterday and was estatic. Cy will write back today. I took Griffon to the emergency room last night. I thought he had menigitis- just strip(sp) throat. poor kid wont move his head. I love you dearly! lisa

    Lisa, oh no! Poor Griff. I’m glad you got the letter. Jack addressed it himself, as I’m sure you could tell.
