Kindergarten

This really says it all.

Conner had a great first day which of course would not be complete had it not been preceded with drama. On Sunday he woke up with 102 degree fever which I ~~convinced myself~~ believed was due to a sinus infection from nasal congestion he's had for a couple of weeks. So a trip to the minute clinic and three doses of antibiotics later he woke up feeling great and ready to go to school. I broke the 24 hour fever rule but I feel I had no choice. He just possibly couldn't miss his first day of kindergarten. So hopefully none of the other moms at Conner's school will do a google search for us and realize I potentially endangered all their kids. And hopefully I don't have my child on antibiotics for a virus. Oh well.

Conner was up at 6am ready to face the day. He was dressed with teeth brushed and ready to leave by 6:15. He asked every 5 minutes how much longer until we leave (7:15). I, in the meantime, made a from scratch apple tart for breakfast that no one ate one bite out of.

So Conner did well but I know you're all really wondering how I did. Well, I did great too. Or I least I think I did. I've been depressed about it for a month now so I figured if I got it all out of my system then on the big day I wouldn't be a blubbering idiot. And it seemed to work. I was on the verge of crying when we were about to leave and I just went on out and was fine. I did tear up today as I dropped him off in the line which by the way is what he wanted us to do yesterday. He was fine to go in by himself and leave us in the drop off line so we compromised and I dropped him off in the line and then parked and brought all his supplies in and took the requisite pictures and video.

So here's to Mom getting used to our new reality and bouncing back among the living. I'm so proud of my boy.

Proverbs 31:10-31 (GWT)

10 “Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels.11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 “She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 “She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 “She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 “Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 “She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 “She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for what she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.”
