Well, what better way to ring in the start of a new school year for your child than having a few glasses of wine with your oldest and best friend from your own school days? I can tell you. There is no better way. We laughed, we snacked, we reminisced about the past and went on and on about our future as we drank pinot and merlot. Do we sound like a couple of love birds? ha! Which is my excuse #5 for not having my blog done on time..But all of that was exactly what I needed after sending my baby off to school for the first time. And my baby, well he was in bed by 8 and passed out a few blinks after his head hit the pillow. He loved school. He said this year was already "way better than Kindergarten." He said his classroom is better and even his teacher is better. Which is absolutely untrue. His kindergarten teacher was a god-send. She was the epitome of sweetness and everything wonderful that a child needs in school and with a "one, two, three. Look and listen" she had the attention of 21 kiddos. His 1st grade teacher however, is this old woman long past her retirement year and has a temper. A temper to the point that she throws chalk at walls and dumps her student's desks if they aren't kept neat and clean. I bet that witch waits all Summer to dump a desk. Well, let me tell you. If she dumps my kid's desk, I'm dumping hers. I'll be that mom that gets the entire family kicked out of Hampton School District because I dumped a desk of a teacher that has been doing it for 30 years! Does Joey know any of this though? No. And he won't until he sees for himself, which I truly hope doesn't happen to my little man. I hope he likes his teacher all year and I hope he thinks this year is better than Kindergarten. Here is a picture of my little man, headed off to 1st Grade. What a big shot!
