We survived the first week back to school, but holy moly, it
was busy!
On Wednesday, I had a school board meeting. It lasted 6 hours and I finally pulled into
my driveway at 12:06am. I get up at 5am
so Thursday was definitely a rough day. While
this has proven to be a much bigger time commitment than I anticipated, it’s
been a very rewarding experience and has sparked my interest in becoming more
involved with education (particularly in low income communities) from an
administrative perspective. It seems
unlikely that S will return to this preschool next year and I’m extremely sad
about it. The preschool only has half day
classes and I definitely don’t want the same baby-sitter we have this
year. As a result, we will probably
choose a preschool that offers a full day class. I’m still hoping we can find a way to make
the current preschool work for us, but preparing to make the switch.
On Thursday, W had his first chess club meeting (is meeting
the correct word??). My kindergartner is
in the chess club and also does his homework on the bus (which is no longer than
a 10 minute ride – ha). Since I consider
myself a nerd, I think his nerdlike tendencies are adorable. J
S is obsessed with Paw Patrol. It’s the first time either of my boys has
been super into a show. They would watch
various cartoons before, but nothing comes close to the Paw Patrol love. As an early birthday treat for S, A and I are
taking the boys to Paw Patrol Live tomorrow.
They have no idea and I hope they’ll enjoy it.
In other news, just when you think our President can’t get
any worse, he shuts down the government and throws a tantrum over a wall. So. Over. It.
