Parent-Teacher Conferences
I’m realizing how unnecessary and draining worry is and I was shown an example of that last night. When I was a kid there were a LOT of worries when I watched my folks walk out that door knowing they would be speaking to my teacher. About me. ALONE. I would be a mess of nerves and anxiety the whole time they were gone. As soon as they pulled into the driveway I would watch them from the window glued to their faces searching for any hint or clue as to how the meeting went. I’m not sure why I was always so worried. I always got the “talks too…

Well the nightmare has happened
I woke up bright and early, as usual, thank you Zahkya, and I had everything ready for school yesterday. The kids were dressed, Tristyn’s snack was packed, his water bottle was clipped to his bag and ready to go. Then my husband reminded me it was late-start-Monday. Every Monday they start school an hour later to help the teachers get ready for the week. So, that’s awesome. Time to destress about getting to school .. I had an entire hour and everything was ready! Wrong. It wasn’t even 18 minutes later I got a text message from the school: Dear students in Mrs. G’s kindergarten class. We have recieved notification…

Every day is the best day
We are in our second week of school and our first full week for Tristyn. We are all trying to find a routine and I’m trying to fit all my household responsibilities in between everything. I ended up being a total wreck the whole first day of school. I think all my stress and worry dissipated when I picked Tristyn up and when I asked him how school was he responded “This was the best day of my life!” He had two more “best day of my life” days last week, each day would be better than the last in his opinion. Then he had a rough day. He made…

The day before school … I’m a wreck!
I keep checking Tristyn’s backpack to make sure he has everything. I’ve checked his school supply list a dozen times today. Yes, he has everything. We dropped off most of the items when we went to his school’s open house. He got to sit down at his desk and meet his teacher. Mrs. G is going to be awesome. I’m still a wreck. I’ve double, triple, 10000x checked all the websites I’m supposed to be signed up to track his progress and his school lunches. Every time I check I’m reminded that I haven’t forgotten anything. He has his masks, he has his water bottle, everything has his name on…

The first front tooth is a goner!
This happened a few days ago too. The milestones keep coming. Nothing like losing your first front tooth right before school starts. He even got “a whole buck” for that awesome tooth. This is his third tooth gone already.

School starts soon
Not only does school start soon but Tristyn got accepted into the school I wanted for him. I can’t believe we actually got in! I cried the day we got the acceptance letter. I cry a lot at these little milestones it seems. Now he can start school with his best friend and he’s excited about that. I’m excited for him. It’s going to be a super busy time for my little guy. He’ll have school 5 days a week, karate twice a week and baseball is still going for the next two weeks. I think that Zahkya is going to be lost without her brother at home and I’m…

It got so busy so fast
Having two little kids close in age is a handful in itself. They are busy, they are needy, and it’s a constant buzz of distractions and mundane chores on repeat. I had no idea what was coming. Tristyn is of Kindergarten age and in our county, he couldn’t start until this year. I thought I was early in getting him registered for school. I’ve learned so much in the past week. After a 4.5-hour online registration process, he is finally enrolled for his Fall 2021 Kindergarten year. Just…not at the school I wanted him to be in. So now we are on a waitlist. I just might be homeschooling again…
