One Down... 179 More To Go!

Today was the big day.  It's the day I've been working on for the past week.  The organizing.  The decorating.  The planning.  It's the day I woke up at 5:45 AM and woke the boys forty-five minutes later.

It's the day of new L.L. Bean backpacks for my boys, five 1" binders with dividers for my new middle schooler, and pocket folders with brads for my third grader.  It's a day of wondering if they are having a good day.  It's a day of my telling my new fourth grade class that I know they are going to be the very best fourth grade class at C************* Elementary, because "Everyone knows Mrs. W. ALWAYS has the best class!"  It's a day of signing forms and papers sent home with my own children (homework for parents!).  It's a day for a trip to Marble Slab for the special ice cream treat to celebrate this yearly milestone.  It's a day where I am so utterly exhausted that I snuggle under my duvet at 8:00 so that I can rest up for tomorrow.

It's the First Day of School...
