They're off!

Kudos to the Harlem School District! This year they changed the junior high and high school start times to coincide with research studies that show adolescents do not learn well at 7 in the morning!

My kids start school at 8:55 now and that my friends is a beautiful thing! No stressful mornings, no sleepy kids, no standing in the dark at the bus stop. I just can't say enough about how pleasant our morning was today.

From the grungy, throw on whatever, throw your hair up kids, to this... They clean up pretty nice eh?!?

Remember those chatty girls on the phone from yesterday? Check em out today... I really just couldn't contain the pride I felt this morning as I sent off my babies to school. After I shut the door behind Brennan I mumbled..."Please God let him have a good year..." Stephanie overheard me and said, "Mom, why do you worry so much about him?" "It's a long story you know...autism does that." The precious one had a great day yesterday...she was thrilled! Whew...big sigh of relief.

Here's one more for the scrapbook...

I'll post the update from the trenches...after I hear how today goes...

Until next time...
