not ready.

I start back to school tomorrow.
I'm so not ready.
We have meetings all day Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday is a work day.
"Meet the Teacher" night is at 6:30 Wednesday. (I think.)
Kids come on Thursday.

My classroom is far from ready...


Piles everywhere...

I'm pretty sure my lack of "readiness" has something to do with my lack of energy and this giant belly I am trying to work around.

Class lists were posted Friday.

Sophie is thrilled with her teacher! (who is not me!)

I'm going to head to school for awhile today to start writing names on some of the 30 things that need labeled.

Some people wonder how I already know the kid's names on the first day of school?

I've always been good with names and writing 22 names, 30 times... they tend to stick in your head.

Hopefully that will make me feel a little more ready at school.

But I'm really not ready for the mornings.

And I'm not ready to dress up every morning.

I haven't seen 6 am all summer (except for getting up to go to the bathroom. Or to roll over.)

My kids haven't seen 6:40 am all summer.

I'm pretty sure we've never left the house before 8:00 (and those days were rare!)

So getting all 3 of us up, dressed and out the door by 7:15 each morning is going to be a bit of a challenge for awhile.

But each day I spend at school means I am one day closer to meeting this baby girl.

And I am very ready for that.
