I am so not ready!
I do have a box of supplies sitting around, waiting to separate and organized. Lunch boxes and book bags are ready to be packed. I think we even have some clothes that will pass inspection for first day worthy.
It's the last weekend of summer and I am not ready to hand off my ladies on Monday morning. I want to continue our treks and adventures. Monday will be almost 90* and a perfect pool day! More pressing though is the issues I having with school. School shouldn't feel wrong and it does for me. But is it my feelings that should matter?
At our meet and greet yesterday I started chatting with the teacher and said I would like to volunteer in her class, 2-3 times a week, and inquired when we could work out the details. Apparently they shy away from parent volunteers in first grade, and she hasn't really used them in the past. If that were to change she would let me know. She brushed me off to the PTA. Color me shocked! A little sad and disappointed too. Most of all I am really unsettled by this whole interaction. So much so I pretty much shut down and we left. Maybe I am just not ready to let go and this is all my issue. I have no desire to run fundraisers and sort Market Day Teacher Lady, thats why I came to you to offer my assistance. I'm really unsure of how to proceed.
Either way, the show is continuing as planned for now. So as a nice distraction I put together menu plans for the ladies. They are now responsible for meal planning!
I'm sure we will have the same meals every week, so I will have to make a master list for them to reference. I also think I am putting to much faith in this little sheet of paper. It won't completely solve the daily dinner debacle, but it will hopefully help!
Although I guess I could handle it with all my free time now. :/
Hope everyone else's school year is off to a great start!
