Well, the Sun started school last week and the Moon started on Monday. To be honest, I was fully expecting tears and tantrums and the 'ole "I don't want to go Mommy" from the Moon, but she went with bells on! And, the Sun did too. Would it be so wrong to say that on Monday - and each day since - I've done a little happy dance each morning when the hubby and kids have left for school? I now have 4 hours of quiet where I can listen to whatever I want to on the stereo, get a cup of coffee, fold the laundry and do just about everything without any interruption?
Each day since school has started both kids have come home exhausted but happy. Noah's 4th year curriculum promises to be rich and challenging. We have Norse mythology and Tennessee history, fractions, zoology and the human body and woodworking. That's not all, of course, but it's all very new and exciting! Arwyn is now the age when the early childhood teachers begin to separate the preschool children from the "crown" kindergartners in her mixed age class. She is technically "crown" age and is showing all of the signs that she is ready to move on. But, am I? Am I ready to no longer have any preschoolers? I just don't know.
What I do know is it is going to be a great year. Life is grand and I am savoring those moments in the morning when life is serene and quiet. I'm listening to my blog music and am off to start the washing machine. Here's to a full and productive morning!
