First day at school


Hopped out of bed at 6.45am, mixed the batter for pancakes as decreed by Lopes, mooched about a bit, made pancakes and then woke Lopes up. Quick shower, dress up and bribe Lopes with promises of treats to get her to eat her breakfast and then hopped into the car. Turned back, ran back inside to get glasses without which I am an even bigger hazard and zoom off to school. Missed the turn, turned round and sat in even more traffic and finally made it to school.

I wondered why some children and mums were sniffling and waved happily at Lopes and went back home. Then collapsed into a heap on the sofa and had a good cry! Off to bed, pick up just after noon as it's a half day.

Pele, first day is usually tougher on parents than the child. Dropped mine off and kept looking back, hoping she would look up to say goodbye. She was too engrossed to notice me.

Was thinking of all you mums with kids in new school. Start of next 10 years or so before kicking them off to Uni. Is that the real reason mums cry. ha ha
