'1ST-DAY-OF-SCHOOL' PICK-UP COMMENTARY

My kids started back to school today....and after a VERY hectic first morning...(don't ask....REALLY)
we actually made it on time to all three schools. 
And no one backed out of going in to their classrooms....Unless you count that little discussion in the hall with Little T.  :0)

Here's a run down of the afterschool comments I received when I picked up the kids today:

1st grader:   "Mom....WE DON'T EVEN HAVE 'CENTERS' ANYMORE!!!! 
(Little T:  Sad face) 
(That means there is no play time like in Kindergarten....just so ya know)

5th grader:  "I'm the class clown!!!"    Me:  "Oh...great!!!"   T:  "Yeah, and during lunch, I went around shaking everyone's hand because I knew them all and said, "Hi...how are ya doin'..... and what's YOUR name?"   (Keep in mind this is our QUIET child.......)  Holy moly....we're in trouble now.  LOL

9th grader (just got into High School):    "We get to have SWEET TEA at lunch!!!!"  (Happy face!)

I REALLY don't know where they get all this stuff.....the 'playing'...the 'class clown' thing...and the Sweet Tea addiction.....oh...yeah...PROBABLY FROM ME...HUH???     ROFL

Oh....and all of them....."MOM, CAN WE GET SOMETHING TO EAT......WE'RE STARVING!!!!"

Here we go......however.......WELCOME BACK, ROUTINE!!!  I've missed you so!!!!!!
