Whew.  I hope that the boys are doing okay.  They all walked into the building this morning without looking back &#8212; but they did let me give them each a kiss before they left &#8212; so that was okay.  I think that we&#8217;re all kind of tired of each other at the moment, so that worked to our advantage.  The youngest and I did errands this morning to take my mind off them being at school and to take his mind off the fact that he wasn&#8217;t allowed to go to school with them.  And, after three stores, a run through at McD&#8217;s, car keys left in a store, purse dumped by three year old (in a parking lot) while he was trying to help look, waking up before the sun, a malfunctioning van door, the dog up on the couch where he is forbidden, my yelling at the dog, the boys laughing at me when I was yelling at the dog (they were in the van and I was in the house and they <i>still<\/i> heard me &#8212; I know, so very ladylike), a forgotton camera, a return trip for a camera, many bathroom accidents, the youngest jumping on me while I was sleeping, me thinking that I would put in my 2 week notice if this was a job that I could quit, the youngest who is having problems hearing words unless I have repeated myself at least 4 times &#8212; all day long &#8212;  and eating a piece of chocolate cake, I would like to say that I am *so* not ready for the next round.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Day of School Today is the first day of school for Jon and for all the boys.
