Today was Grace's first day of 2nd grade! After all the last minute shoe/sock shopping, going to 3 different stores for glue sticks and searching for a thermos that will keep hot dogs warm until 11:50 am I am glad it's here. Whenever Grace was asked the dreaded question, "Are you ready for school" she was very quick to say "No" but she was happy as could be as she lined up in the morning. After Jack asked his usual 20 questions, he too went, only shedding a few tears. I couldn't get one word out of him afterwards but I guess it couldn't have been too bad, since he went again the next day without a problem. I am now getting used to my few hours with just one again. It seems like just enough time to squeeze in a trip to the gym, 2 errands, shower and lunch. I am not complaining though and I am trying to use any quiet time to "recharge". I like to refer to the time as my calm "in between" the storms. Mornings are still rough and afternoons are already starting to be just as crazy as I remember them...but I guess that's life....
