School daze

Hey, did you miss me? A little? Ah, I love you. Here is a treat.

Today was the first day of school for Mags. I was mildly panicked given his peanut allergy. However, after a great meeting with the school principal, nurse and Mags' teacher I think we have reason to be cautiously hopeful that he will be safe. I almost did the happy dance when we arrived to school and were met with disclaimer signs indicating peanut free zones in his play area. Woot!

But that happiness was brutally destroyed because after fetching my firstborn from school he announced that he has a girlfriend. He felt the need to be reassuring, pointing out that he LIKES her but he LOVES me. It's like cheating in a weird kindergarten way. I felt used. I need a shower.

So we survived day one and next week the boy will undergo an academic assessment. I am fairly confident he will do well, as his new word this week is imperative. It is imperative that I wear those shoes. No, Mom, the other shoes. I said imperative.

This should be fun, right?

No?

Give me that treat back.
