First Day of School

I am up! And I am driving Austin to school because the bus comes at 5:45 am for middle and high schoolers! That is just nuts. He doesn't need to be there until 7:10. I wanted to leave at 6:30 this morning, but Austin didn't sleep well last night and is lagging a tad bit. A simple threat of the youth officer dragging him off to school in his PJ's and then spending tomorrow at Boot Camp got him up and rolling.

Seriously.

Tessa wasn't able to sleep either. I know this because she kept waking me up last night to tell me. She is passed out on my floor now. So I reset my alarm and will call her to wake her ass up. This is going to be so much fun!

I slept like a baby, however. Life is wonderful!


Oh, and I love this quote:

"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider to be God-fearing and pious."
-- Aristotle, 343 B.C.

I am still waiting for my night of peaceful sleep... August 30th... a Thursday, they start on a Thursday!

I am having problems spelling sleep! I don't know...maybe I am just burning out.

Oh, I hate the first day of school. I feel like crying but that will humiliate them

We start next week.

In response to your question, by the way, I am pretty prone to manic episodes and bursts of workaholism and fits of rearranging cabinets and furniture followed by a period of...mental exhaustion. But I just see it as a part of who I am and what I do.

At least it gets the house clean. :)

I find that many of us with certain tendencies can always spot them in others right away. And I also find that people who dont understand, well, dont really understand.

Hey Lav, maybe you know why Zanthera's blog does not show up for me? It says "no posts match your query".

What the hell does that mean?

I have tried a few times, and also right from her profile. I'm not sure what happened.

Zanthera- I liked starting in the middle of the week as kid. This going all week is hard on them I think. :p

Lynn, Zanthera was having a problem with word press that I think she was able to fix. Try going to Northernbound.com and trying again.
Yes, I think we do notice those tendencies in others. I get overwhelmed though, and then don't want to do anything. Poor me, lol.

Fox- I get that!

Yay! You're feeling good!

Awwww, you're such a good mom. Who knew there was such a thing as 5:45 AM??? How is a child supposed to function at that hour?

I LOVE the quote!

5:45 is way too effing early!
