Back To School

No adoption news yet. For someone so impatient I have a real peace about it all (at least for now!). The waiting to be approved was maddening, but knowing we are now, I feel like I can relax and wait. I know I don’t want to rush it and whatever is meant to be will happen at just the right time. I know that our family is meant for someone. I just have to wait until they find us. The girl from Colorado has been on my mind a lot. The one that has a possible family already. I am interested at this time in waiting to see if that works out for her. We are very interested in adopting her. So, for now we continue waiting!
Brendans first day of school went great. With the exception of the rude parents! I don’t care which school my kids have gone to those parents are always there. Why does pick up and drop off time transform ordinary, parents into evil maniacs? It’s just craziness! Brendan seemed to really like it and already made a new friend. He liked his teachers and a lot of them seem to be male which I think is good. Females teachers are great, don’t get me wrong, but I think having a balance is beneficial to the little boys. I may be the minority here but, I don’t really understand the mom’s boo-hooing dropping off their babies at school. Yes, I agree it was a little difficult walking away leaving them in someone else’s hands, but I didn’t cry. I thought something was wrong with me for not crying. I tried to muster up a few tears just to say I cried! My kids were excited to start school. Brendan was more difficult because I thought he was so shy and would have a hard time adjusting, but we did fine. There was a lady just bawling yesterday and when I first saw her I thought “wow, something horrible must having happened” then it hit me……..FIRST DAY, SCHOOL, AHA! Jeez! So anyway, maybe I am insensitive. I don’t mean to be *smile*
They messed up Brendans schedule yesterday, but he was a good sport. I am very optimistic. Then, today, I took him again and we realized he had the wrong schedule AGAIN! I had to get that all straightened out and now he has to start over new today with a new homeroom teacher and new kids. He was not very happy about that because he won’t get to be in class with his friend. I was so sad for him! I just pray this mess happened for a reason and he will have an even better day today! Nick and Allison started today. I already received my first phone call from a school phone, Allison forgot her lunch money already, but aside from that, so far so good! I am anxious to hear about their days.
