So It Begins

The kids are off for their first day of school. Mom took them today since it will be the lass’ first day at her new school with her new teacher. The bus comes by about 7:30, but they don’t actually get to school ’til 45 minutes later, so we’ve opted for dropping them off in the morning.

It had become typical that they would be up at the crack of dawn for the summer. It was actually something of a running joke between the Wife and I that there was no point in getting up early for quiet time because that just meant the kids would be up that much earlier. Meaning they’d be grumpier later during the day. Do the math.

So, of course, today being what it is, they both slept in. Fortunately, other than that, they were trouble free. In fact, they finished the new morning ritual early enough that they got to watch a few minutes of TV prior to departure.

Now, I’ve got 4 hours of quiet time. That may take some getting used to.

Or not.
