I think that this year in the mornings getting Megan ready for school is going to be a humongous challenge. I am SCARED. Today was the first official day of school but the Kindergarteners weren't being bused, only the older kids. So I got her up in plenty of time to get dressed, eat, brush teeth, get her backpack and go. Well from the moment she woke up she was screaming and yelling at me about how tired she was. Then trying to get her socks and shoes on was a nightmare. She screamed and cried forever. If I haven't mentioned she can be very OCD about her clothing and her hair and her room and well.....EVERYTHING. Well she took her socks off and put them on probably 10-15 times. Oh it was insane. Then trying to ask her what she wanted for breakfast was insane. She of course yelled and screamed at me again and again. Oh man.
I didn't really sleep well last night because I've had some wierd cough or maybe it's just allergies I don't know. But whatever it is, it has made my asthma act up so bad. I haven't had problems with my asthma like this but I had a bad attack last night and was up coughing forever. It was awful. It's been like that for about a week now. I think it's time to go to the doctor and get a new inhaler or something. I NEED SLEEP!!!!!
My children tend to think otherwise. Kaylee decided to climb in bed with me because she was scared. This was at about 12:00 am, I realized she was there around 2:30 and kicked her out. Then I went back to sleep and probably only a few minutes later was up coughing and couldn't go back to sleep until about 3:30-4:00. Then Scott woke up at 5:30 and I tried to sleep but Elizabeth woke up screaming and she came in bed by me. I tried to get her to sleep and I think she fell asleep around 6:50. Then of course my alarm went off at 7:00. Oh please don't let that be the typical night/morning for us. I think I might go crazy for lack of sleep.
Megan got off to school and was very cute showing Kaylee and Elizabeth where to go and what to do. She hung up her backpack and put her nametag on and put her magnetic button on the file cabinet saying she was having cold lunch. Then hugged us and she was off. Bye mom. I love ya, have fun.
The other girls and I are off to the library for pre-school storytime then to costco for diapers and lunch supplies for Megan. Yeah what a day. Scott has the laptop and that's what I have to download my pics on because our desktop is prior to USB ports and Memorystick slots so tonight I will put a couple pics of Megan up.
Tomorrow is the big BUS day. Megan can't wait.
Here is Megan again so cute ready to go to school.
One last picture with sisters before she leaves for the day.
Picking Megan up from school. This is her cubbyhole for her backpack and jacket.
As soon as we walked in the room to get Megan, she ran up to Liz and gave her the biggest hug ever, then she ran to Kaylee and did the same. It was sweet.
Grandma Carpenter: this picture is specifically for you. Megan asked that I take a picture of her backpack just so you can see it, since you asked for pictures of her first day of school.
While we were driving home Megan kept saying how tired she was. She came in and colored with Kaylee and then she grabbed a blanket and cuddled up on the couch and fell fast asleep.
