D Day

Tuesday was the D (dreaded) day for me. It was the kids first day of school. First of all we had a really fun summer together and I love spending time with them (don't get me wrong there are moments I don't but they are few and very short lived.). Second Kody started Seminary. We have to get up at 5:15 am. I am so not a morning person. Kody said it is not right to have to get up before the sun is up. But he does realize that it is for a good purpose. The first day was really hard for me, having the kids start a new school year in a new school knowing virtually no one. They were so brave, I couldn't believe it. I stood outside and watched them through the window (the girl's classes are right next to each other) until Karlie could not take it anymore. Then I so wanted to drive to the high school and check on Kody. I resisted the urge knowing I would just really embarrass him. It became worse when Kayla came home and said it was good except at recess she had nobody to play with. It broke my heart. The good news is after 4 days of school things are progressively getting better. The kids are making friends and Kody is getting stronger everyday. (they don't have lockers, so he has to carry around all his books and stuff all day long). To Den's dismay Kelsee (in 2nd grade) has already had a boy ask her to be his girlfriend. She was pretty cute about the whole thing. I think we are all glad the first week is out of the way. Kody and I are looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow (he is already asleep on the couch.)
Once again I earn the Mother of the year award. NOT!! I took pictures of the kids on the first day of school and now can't find them. For some reason I am not surprised.
