First Grade Love Up
My twins start First Grade today and it is so exciting I woke up at 4am. Aside from the obvious (she describes it as a release from prison) joy and freedom of having children involved in meaningful activities away from home, I’m struck by the surprising everyday weirdness of being a parent. Some mornings I’m still surprised that instead of finding some cute man at my kitchen table making dirty overtures while asking where the Ibuprofen is, I have instead three beautiful daughters fighting over who sits where and asking me when I’ll get them breakfast and why I’m moving so slowly. And also the burgeoning hope that they’ll love school as much as I always have.
Hardly newsworthy but still. First Grade.
‘sigh.

Honey, you don’t look like a frump. You look like a busy mom.
Same thing??

September 2nd, 2008 at 1:29 pmCongrats on the new job and to the twins on entering first grade!
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:44 pmMen and ibuprofen are both a bit overrated in my opinion.
Our boy started pre-school today, which is the big deal around here.
YaY! School. Cheers! I am so glad my two are gone, I can breath.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:30 pmAh yes, first grade. It’s a big deal for you and for them. Good luck with the new gig – sounds great. Congrats!
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 pmWow congrats on another milestone AND the new gig!
September 5th, 2008 at 5:59 pmHA!!! Yes, where did that cute guy go? I was up at 4am too excited to sleep for the first day of Pre-K. Glad to know it was not just me.
