First Day of School

I hate and love the first day of school.

Hate:
All the paperwork they expect us to keep straight.
That I can not take my own child to school on his first morning.
Too many forms.
All the downed trees to make the 90-bajillion handouts we have to keep straight.

Love:
Seeing scared freshmen, they are so cute.
Seeing students that flock to my desk to check on me and say HI!!!
Seeing students in the hallway that scream "WEGENER" from far enough that I can not make out who they are.
Hugs from silly students that make me smile.

Are you noticing a trend here?

It was a good day. I got be silly in front of new students and have them look at me like I am from Mars. Good times.

Today we were waiting for the results of Scott's knee MRI, no call. UGH. He is able to walk on it without the crutches a bit so that is good. I think he will call in the morning and hound them to get the 411 about his gimpy leg.

All for now...I need to get a couple of things ready for school tomorrow.

p.s. if anyone reads the comments on this blog you will know that I was contacted to review a black and white picture book of Omaha history. I got it in the mail today. I will be reading and reviewing. I had it sent to school. I opened it and got SO excited to thumb through. It looks BEAUTIFUL! I am so excited to see what is really in there more than just a glance. Keep watching for "The Review." I feel so important. d
