Today was the first full day of school for the twins. Last week was an intro week and they only went 1 1/2 hours. Today, however, they were there 8:30 - 3:30, along with Jonah. This means that for 6 whole hours I was with only ONE child (and a bubbly happy infant boy at that). Here is what I learned.
1) I need to wake up earlier.
2) I need to go to bed earlier.
3) Laundry is easier to do when people are not sleeping in their rooms on and off all day long.
4) It is much easier to move around the house without baby gates in between every room and every possible door shut.
5) The house is filled with all kinds of interesting house sounds that are audible when people are not screaming. I actually got scared today from a strange whistling sound that turned out to be the breeze in the trees. (Seriously, I'm not making this up).
6) I don't think I'm getting alzhiemers anymore. It is just really that much more difficult to remember information when 3 other people are talking to you. I felt like a genius today.
7) My house is really big.
8) No matter how much preparation, organization or planning you do, once your kids get home the chaos returns immediately.
9) I will be insanely depressed and lost when my kids no longer live at home.
10) I love school.

I don't think you will be depressed at all....although I'm sure it's hard for you believe right now. You'll be so intrigued watching them do whatever they are doing, you won't have time! (this is my 4th and last try at posting, and comment has changed every time!)
