I learned a valuable lesson this week...and it's only Tuesday. It's best not to start the school year off if Mom wakes in the morning on the first day with a raging sore throat. It's usually not a good sign--no matter how cute the school room looks with the sunshine pouring in, no matter how cheerful the fresh-faced children look over their breakfast (which Mom could barely cook), no matter how faithfully they have done their chores and dressed after a summer of fostering slovenly habits.
Somehow I bucked up and pulled it off...and a fine array of other cliche phrases. We had our first day, but by the second day I was just wiped out, gave up, and sent the kids to the neighbor's house to play for the afternoon while I went to bed. ugh. I might have to give this another go next week...The best laid plans...
Nevertheless, here are some shots of my scholars on their first day of school 2010 / 2011. One nine-year-old boy and one five year old girl giving their best first day faces. Oh, and one cat who loves to get right into the middle of it all.
