The boys went back to school yesterday.\u00a0 One started middle school, and the other started 3rd grade.\u00a0 I know, I’m not old enough to have a son in middle school, but he is only in 5th grade, not 6th!\u00a0 The first day went very well, both were excited and ready to go!\u00a0 I now have to get up at the un-godly hour of 5:30 or 6 a.m. at the very latest.\u00a0 Taylor (our oldest), has to be on the bus by 6:43 a.m.\u00a0 Like I said yesterday ran really smooth, I am NOT a morning person at all, but being the first day and all, I was able to function quite well.\u00a0 I was amazed at all the stuff I could get done before work, by getting up so early!\u00a0 Both boys were outside early enough to have their pictures taken numerous times before the bus came.\u00a0 After school yesterday, our youngest had a “football jamboree”.\u00a0 Which meant we needed to get him off the bus, drive 30 minutes away, and be there by 4:15 sharp.\u00a0 Yea right, didn’t happen.\u00a0 His bus didn’t come until 3:50, and we sat in traffic for 15 minutes.\u00a0 Anyways, he had fun and won 2 games and lost 2 games.\u00a0 But we didn’t get home until 9:30 p.m. last night!\u00a0 Ugh!\u00a0 If you knew me you would know that I have a SCHEDULE, <\/strong>a strict one about homework, dinner and bedtime.\u00a0 Football is kinda screwing with that.\u00a0 I got the kids showered and in bed by 10pm.\u00a0 I then had to fill out my homework<\/strong>,<\/em> which consisted of filling out numerous papers, making many scribbles and mistakes, covering 2 books, and making everyone’s lunches for the morning.\u00a0 Apparently there was one thing major I forgot……..my alarm!\u00a0 Yep, second day of school, and I forgot the alarm!\u00a0 Taylor came in this morning and said, “mom, it’s 6:30 a.m., and I have to be on the bus in 12 minutes.”\u00a0 “OH S—!!!! @#!@#&* etc, etc”\u00a0 But he made it, the bus came, and he tried to run out the door without sneakers!\u00a0 <\/em>I had to grab him, and stop him…. he did argue with me that he had to make the bus, but I convinced him he had to wear shoes to school.\u00a0 Luckily the bus has to turn around, so he was able to run to the neighbor’s bus stop.\u00a0 So, I’m hoping that next week when we try this all again, I will not forget my alarm again!!\u00a0 Did I mention that I ramble on and on????~Stacy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
