I wanted to do in the morning was take some first day photos and START!
Well.... that didn't happen. Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans. My husband had an interview at 9 am, so he thought it would be no big deal to take my van since he was coming right home afterwards. Off he went as I got everyone dressed and ready for the day.
The girls wanted to do their pictures outside so I was unaware my phone was ringing... and ringing... and ringing.... When we finally come in I see the multiple missed calls from my husband.
"I'm stranded on the side of the road..." What?! Well, in order to go get him I have to completely unload all the tools from his work truck, load all the kids and because we live where we do it starts to rain. I find the van and my poor husband along side the road in his suit... in the rain... under the hood of the van. The company was nice enough to push back the interview an hour so we went to my dads house which was in the same town and got some tools, went back to the van and got it to start, it literally makes it to my dads driveway before it dies again. (Turns out the new alternator we put in last month was bad...) So off he goes to his interview in my dads car.
I return home and now it is nap time for my younger babes (yeah!) but, alas, we have no milk. I don't know about your house but in mine no milk means no sleep. So, I reload the kids, which is quite a feat in itself with four in car seats, and go to the grocery. Of course since I'm here I should get dinner and other odds and ends... and we can't forget the cookie from the bakery...
Back at home, we get the food put away and I think 'OK... let's get this show on the road!' but wait!
It's lunchtime! "We can't learn on an empty stomach" they exclaim! So... lunch... dishes... feed baby... put toddler down for nap... and.... wait for it....
We start our first day at school!
It may have lasted until dinner instead of lunch, but it happened. We survived our first day... and I got some cute pics to remember the parts I choose to hold on to (wink, wink).
