Once More Into the Breach ...
Feb. 16th, 2010 09:52 amKiddo heads back to school today. Finally! Having the extra time off was a good thing for her. And for me, too. We were both tired and a bit worn out, I think, from all the holiday running around and all the extra things kiddo is doing after school. So, it was a good break.
With that said, though ...
It's time. So, so, so, so time for her to go back to school. It makes me think about all those years when I was home with her, and I wonder: "What the heck did we do all day long?" Actually, we did a lot of stuff, but that's just it. With kiddo home all the time, there's really only time for me to do things with her and for her. No time for my own projects. Which makes me sound like a selfish jerk, but I'm only human. *shrug* She's so ready to go back, too. She misses her teacher and seeing her friends. And school is fun for her. Hopefully, she will always like it, even as she gets older. It would make life a lot easier for her, in general, since school is a must-do.
I have a few concerns about actually getting to school, though. The streets leading to school are narrow and barely big enough for two cars, even on a perfect day. Lately, not much has been perfect about the days, weather-wise. Now, the streets are packed with 3-4 inches of ice in many spots, and they are piled with snow. The result is that they are barely big enough for one car at a time to pass through -- a serious problem when everyone is trying to drive up for drop-off and there are also busses coming and going. I wasn't all that worried about it until yesterday, when I had to go over to the school to meet someone and drop off a form. I wanted to take a look over there, anyhow, just to see how the streets were. Afterward, I kind of wished I hadn't even looked. It made me worry about drop-off even more! Hopefully additional traffic from the heavier vehicles will thin the ice out enough that it will melt quickly. I'm not sure what will happen with the snow piled up on the sides of the street, though. I don't foresee that going away any time soon. >.O
Ah well. It's almost time to go. Wish me luck!
