Well, we did it.
We finished our first week of school.
The aftermath:

| Note: the coffee was for me, not my 6th grader. Although, I'm sure she would've appreciated it. Ha! |
I chose the craziest week to start.
What was I thinking?!?
I was hosting a neighborhood-wide yard sale.
I was in the process of publishing a book that I had written and had many deadlines.
I was tutoring, babysitting, trying to keep my house in somewhat of a decent state.
And the list goes on.
But we made it!
We survived!
And we only have 35 more weeks to go!!

love this! thanks for documenting it all :) we start Monday... i'm not sure I'll be brave enough to post photos. lol. our aftermath will be monumental. haha. I didn't realize we both have a 2nd grader, and I can't believe my oldest is in 5th grade!
ReplyDeleteAw, I didn't realize we both had 2nd graders either! This week was rough. But we have one under our belt. I am using Saturday to prepare better for the next week. :) And typically I take tons of pictures of our first day, and decorate the windows with window markers and have the kids make 1st day of school art. But this year, I was just happy that we all showed up on the same day in the same room and were able to accomplish something. LOL
