Here we are already the second day into the new school year. Anna starts talking when she lays in bed at night, hardly mentions anything all afternoon. Lilly can’t remember too much, because so many new things happen, but she likes it, but then she starts crying …. over nothing … so, we all know, it has NOTHING to do with it, and all to do with school. She tries to be so big, and there is lots to take in, but she can’t let it all out yet. She will, soon enough! She is just happy that she gets something normal in the afternoon. She does have some nice kids in class, Maggie one of them, but other than her, she just can’t remember, and she gets to watch TV during rest time …
It is only the second day.
Anna is already asking when she has the next day off. I know that she just wants a chance to sleep in. She is like me and would rather stay up a little later and get up a little later. Unfortunately, school does not work that way!
Emily gets up with a smile on her face every morning. She ensures that the alarm clock is on at night, so it will wake her up in the morning and then she gets up chipper and happy.
Arrrghhh ….
Neither Michael nor I are that way. We are wired to be grouches. We try to avoid each other in the morning so that we won’t get into the first big fight of the day …
Anna is just like that. She will lay in bed as long as she can. There is no moving that child in the morning any faster than at a snails pace. Ahhhhhhh, there comes a similarity to Lilly, who is just happy to get up, which does not necessarily mean that she will do ANYTHING fast, other than keeping Anna from eating her breakfast.
Alright, enough bickering.
Apparently, it has been one of those mornings again. Both had a great afternoon. Anna went to ballet class and Emily to a friends house. I’ve already had a good evening with kisses and hugs from two anxious girls needing some reassuring … me too … probably …
