johnandtinagilbert Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We're starting today, so I'll be kind of a ghost about my favorite forum, so I wanted to wish everyone else a happy first day of school. See you sometime in November. Did I mention I have 3 middle schoolers this year?!?!?!?! and an additional lower grammar kiddo this year? Holy cow! I'm gonna be a busy Momma...and I love (almost) every second of it! Happy home schooling, all. Have a wonderful year. :party: That's my happy school dance. :cheers2: That's for after the first day!

Elizabeth Conley Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Same here. I woke up with a panic attack at 0300. I've got the first day of school jitters really bad. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesloonybin Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 1st day for us too. I have a 1st grader and a HIGH SCHOOLER!!! I haven't been sleeping well for the last week. I was also up until midnight last night getting ready. I cannot believe how nervous I am. It is the 9th grader that has me in panic mode. It feels like any mistake I make is going to end up forever on her transcript. Sigh... I will get through this. I just keep telling myself "I am the one writing the transcript. I don't have to put any mistakes on there!!" I will post picture on my blog later today. (If I make it through the day.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 It's our first day too & I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with some anxiety. Yikes. Hope everyone has a great day! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Our first day today, too! I've got a third grader and a preschooler, so I'm not as nervous as some of you other ladies... :D It's 9:45am our time, and so far we have: had breakfast got dressed brushed teeth morning chores (clean kitchen, make beds, make sure rooms are picked up) Third grader has done his language arts lesson, and is almost done with reading. Preschooler has done a puzzle, glued paper scraps to two larger papers (and used, oh, I dunno, 1/2 a bottle of glue!), done 'paint' on the computer, and is now playing his keyboard with headphones in so the third grader can concentrate. So, so far, so good. Ask me at lunchtime if I still feel the same way. :D Gotta go, 'done' was just announced by third grader... Have a great day, everyone!

johnandtinagilbert Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Looking good so far :) Good enough to stop in and say hi, anyways. Let's say I'm not very impressed with the ps system here. My new student attended K there. He can read, they did a great job there (along with his mom who worked really hard on that at home), but the rest...terrible. No math, horrid handwriting habits. Nothing we can't work out in a couple months, but man...I'm not impressed with all they didn't teach him! He does, however, have so much eagerness to learn! YEAH! He's so happy to be in my house. I think this will be a great year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
