First Day of School


Today was the first day back to school. Aliyah was so excited while waiting for the bus, and then the bus actually showed up, thats when she lost it and started to cry! I had to walk behind her and help her up the stairs. She then dropped her backpack and resting mat and just stood there and turned and said I want a huggy!! I gave her a big hug and kiss and she tearfully picked up her backpack and sat next to Henry. He took her to her class where she knew one boy from church, Ethan. She had a good day at the end of the day when she came home. Henry was taking the dog out this morning the dog got loose, henry fell and scraped both knees and elbow. Poor baby!

Henry is an old pro now. He got on that bus and took care of his little sister, I was so proud of him!! He took Aliyah to her class and then went to his. He said he had a good first day. He will have homework this year on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'll make sure he works his fingers to the bone!!!! hehehe

I had an exciting day today too. I took the kids their folders to school with all the paper work they want you to fill out, I had to call the bus garage this morning, and came back out to the car and my car wouldn't start! I popped the hood ( so I could look intelligent to anyone passing by) and cleaned around my battery cables, no luck. I called Nick and he tried for 30 minutes to get me started. By this time I am already late for work, my baby started school, and we cant' figure out what is going on, I was not doing well. He even tried to jump my car off with no luck. He took me to work, and he and George, his stepdad, went to look at it. It started. Go figure. But I thank the good Lord that it wasn't something serious. I guess it just needed to rest!! So that was my first day of school. Yes, after the kids got on the bus, I came in and cried.
