Well, I feel like I've been away for eternity. This blog is my little secret - not Rain's... Anyway, he's off Monday thru Wednesday and I've known that'll knock me off my little "project" every now and then... This week happened to be that 'now and then'...
Anyway, the boys started back to school today. Here's a pic before they left this morning...
They were pretty excited, a little nervous, and a little foggy about a new school year. I picked them up today and here's the report...
Me: Mystery Man! Tell me all about your first day of kindergarden!
MM: Nah, I don't feel like it...
Me: Plllllleeeeeaaaassssseeeeee! Just tell me a little bit...
MM: Nah, my mouth is tired...
Me: Did you talk a lot?
MM: Nah...
Me: Did you talk to ANYBODY?
MM: Nah...
Me: Did you make any new friends?
MM: Nah...
Fantastic... He's just like his mother. He went in and sat back and just assessed the situation today. And, he's a little shy... I love his teacher so far, so I'm optomistic...
Me: Born Cool, how was your first day of 3rd grade?
BC: Oh, you know, it was okay...
Me: Did you talk to anybody?
BC: Yeah, I know so and so, and so and so, and so and so...
Me: Did your teacher help you put up your supplies?
BC: She did. She didn't make us do to much work today...
Me: Well, that's good for a first day...
BC: She accidently told the girl that sits beside me to "shut up"...
Me: The TEACHER did?
BC: Yeah, but it was an accident...
Me: **disgruntled face**
Ok, another vague report. Yeah, Born Cool's teacher was NOT the one I got the warm and fuzzy feeling from. It's going to be an interesting year? However, I'm reserving judgement. I've made plenty of mistakes. I know I've told my kids to 'shut up' before. I'd probably be pissed if that girl was mine... So, we'll see...
Me: Old Soul, how was the first day on top? (8th grade...)
OS: Oh, it was fine. I've got someone I know in all my classes. My teachers all seem pretty nice and I dropped off all my supplies except science but that was because I couldn't get to my locker. We have scheduled locker times and I just didn't know. I'll get it to them tomorrow.
Me: Great! I'm glad you had a good first day...
OS: Yeah, the school said they ordered new lockers. Some people are having to share lockers...
Me: What??
OS: Yeah, I'm on of those people...
Me: WHAT??
OS: I'm sharing with a girl.
Me: WHAT??
OS: It'll be okay mom. Don't get mad. They ordered them back in May. They just haven't gotten here yet...
Yep, that's Old Soul. A full and completely detailed report... Not real happy with the whole locker situation, but I guess ranting and raving won't get them here any faster... I'm not worried about OS. I never worry abut him... He's like a 40 year old in a 13 year old's body...
So, school's off to a decent start, I guess. If MM will talk to some other kids and make some friends, I'll feel better. If BC doesn't get cussed by his teacher at school tomorrow, I'll feel better. If OS falls in love with the girl he's sharing lockers, she better damn well be a good egg...
Ok, off to another post on a different topic... I've got catching up to do...

I love when you post convos with the boys. Also, love how you know their personalities so intricately. I want to be like that.
