Today is the first day of school. Nathan and Zoey are officially a 5th and a 4th grader. Man does that ever make me feel old.
Do you remember how on the first day of school you would dress in your best clothes, have the outfit all picked out and ready for the morning? Maybe that was just me (at least until sometime in high school when I finally realized it didn’t really matter what I was wearing. Today, Nathan tried to wear a shirt that has a monkey shooting flames from its butt. It’s a funny shirt (especially if you are a 10 year old boy), but not really appropriate for school. Being the uncool mom that I am, I made him change shirts.
I loved buying new school supplies. I really hated to sharpen my new pencils because I didn’t want to wreck them. Yeah…I have OCD tendencies.
Heh .. I still have an uncontrollable urge to buy new jeans and loose leaf paper every September!
