School starts tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Yes, in 12 hours we will be arriving at our 1st day of school? Are we ready? Are we excited? Well I guess I am kind of ready to start back. I am a creature of routine, and I think we are ready to get back into the school routine. Am I excited about driving back and forth to the high school everyday? Not really. However, they are pretty self-sufficient so I don't have to do too much for them. I am in an Informal Geometry class this year. Yes, I am nervous. It's been 17 years or better since I've had that stuff. Is Brooke ready? She did say tonight that she was kind of excited about going to 4th grade. That is the first time I've heard her say that. She likes to be home, not really a fan of the whole school thing. She is a little nervous about 4th grade being hard. I don't blame her, I am, too! Now the question of the day.....
IS BLAKE READY FOR 2ND GRADE?????? A better question might be - Is 2nd grade ready for Blake? Well, what does this tell you - we just got back from Galesburg and he absolutely, positively, no doubt about it.... talked the whole way home! I mean the WHOLE WAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone that knows Blake knows that he talks NONSTOP! When I ask him to "rest his jaws" as we very often do, he does.... but only for about 5 seconds. I'm really worried about how this is going to impact 2nd grade. Does he realize how much "tougher" his teacher is this year?! He used to be afraid of her, but I really don't think he is anymore. I am afraid of her so why isn't he? I am really hoping that she puts the fear of God into him tomorrow. I want him to listen, be respectful, learn, and be polite - but how can he do that if he talks continuously???? I don't want to have the kid that no one wants in their class because he won't shut up and talks out of turn. I don't want to have the kid that has to sit out at recess for talking or better yet causes his whole class to sit out because he is talking! He told me tonight that he is just trying to "get all of his talking out now before school starts tomorrow". He says he won't talk during class because he can talk all he wants during recess and lunch. Oh Lord, I hope he is right! I am worried!
Please keep your fingers crossed for all of us. Please mention my name in your little bedtime prayers tonight! I need it! I'll definitely keep everyone posted as the week goes on! Wish us well.

Thanks to Blake though I will never forget my name because before he says anything to me, he starts with Aunt Cathi. Who knows maybe someday I will need that help. I am a little nervous about 4th grade too. But not near as nervous for Junior year for Erik who would rather be doing anything but school work. I had an idea - if they could give him his homework and let him do it in his truck, he might like that. He definitely likes his new to him 1998 Red (really red) Dodge truck. Thank goodness Aunt Chrissi will be there to keep an eye on him.
I would probably leave another comment.....if you would ever update your blog. xooxo
