Everyone was sucessfully launched to their new schools this morning. Grace, Eli and I walked the five blocks to Rosewood Elementary, met the crossing guard named "Frasier" (a woman) and proceeded to cross after we heard the required two blows of her whistle:) Apparently we didn't get the memo about all the kids meeting in the auditorium and the parents getting coffee and donuts outside, but nonetheless the kids found their classrooms and had a few unplanned minutes of one-on-one time with their new teachers!
Jacob and Ben got to sleep in an extra hour as their middle school does not begin until 8:45AM. They rode their bikes and I followed in the car (only because I had their heavy back packs and needed to put money in their school lunch accounts....really!!). They were ushered into the lunchroom and disappeared into a swarm of 6th - 8th graders, not to be seen again until 3:45PM.
I proceeded to wipe a small tear from my eye, and then drove our suburban to a car fix-it shop to have the air conditioning looked at ( ac not working in SC is BAD!). This may cause a gasp for those of you who knew we just sunk $1200 into fixing our AC before we left Wisconsin. I am hoping it is just a leak!!! I brought my bike and then rode it home, which was not a great idea as the car place is at the bottom of a very large hill. Needless to say the shower I took this morning before school was for naught!!!So, now I figure out how spend my day. Still have a bit of unpacking to do and then we'll see. Rob comes back on Saturday for a few weeks and then back to HR for a bit.
