First Day of School

Today is the first day of school.

If last night commenced the opening ceremonies....with

1) An all out screaming juggernaut regarding "the first day of school outfit"
2) A preschooler scream fest over the requirement to get clean
3) The pencil Box Debacle (newly purchased pencil box was broken)

And that friends... that was last night. It's 5:45am.... I am going to get in the shower and make lunches because this morning... this morning... is going to be a llllllloooooonnnnnngggggggg morning!

Here's what I anticipate.

#1) Fight over clothes for my 2nd grader

#2) Fight with my preschooler to leave her at preschool

All in all, not too bad... except that it will all occur very early in the morning... and if I'm not careful could set the tone for the rest of the day.

...... sip...... sip .... elixir of the gods, do your work! Coffee power activate!

Tonight is the allergist. My oldest will be tested for some food allergies and celiacs.

[QUICK NOTE: An apparent comment misconception of Celiacs is that it is ALWAYS a failure to thrive, however there is an asymptomatic celiacs, which means that the lower intestines are able to absorb enough nutrients so that the person isn't malnourished. But that person is still at risk for the complications associated with celiacs... ]

However I still think it's unlikely that she has celiacs since it is hereditary... but who knows.

This week is shaping up to be a nice week full of activity and challenges...

Violin lessons on Thursday as well as Piano lessons....

Next week swim lessons start

Life is good.
