Our first day of school was a fail.  Yes, I said a fail.  I definitely give myself an F.  My kids on the other hand, I would give an A+!  I woke up not feeling well with a headache.  Add a lot of running around to do and having to bake cookies for church (that never made it to church because I forgot my son didn’t get out of his class until 8pm), dropping books off at 2pm, dance at 5pm, picking husband up from work at 5pm, going to the grocery store to get something for supper (because I forgot it the FIRST time I was there at 8am this morning), then going back to get my daughter from dance, back home to drop kids and hubby off and enough time to walk our wonderful dog before I went back to get my son at 8pm.  Yes, it was a long day.  And I still have the headache.

My kids on the other hand handled everything a lot better than I did!  They were awesome!  They helped mommy pick up the house and walk the dog during the day time.  They helped mommy with the clothes while she baked cookies that they weren’t going to get any of at that time (never made it to church, so the kids were able to have some cookies!).  Then they sat patiently during all of the stops in the afternoon. 

So needless to say it didn’t end up like I wanted it to.  I wanted to get pictures of them, I wanted to have Phonics and Math finished by lunch time ad I wanted us to have all of our reading done for the day! 

Why do you ask that I would write and say that I failed at school today?  I am human and have bad days just like everyone else.  Tomorrow is a new day and we will begin anew.  I will start the day out with God (which I missed this morning) and know that by starting out with Him and making sure that I make God my first priority, my day will be what He wants to make of it.  He put these kids in my care and trust and has lead us to homeschool them.  So I know that all will be alright by putting God first in our day.

How has your first day of school gone?  Let me know!
