So today was Bean's first day of 1st grade. It was fine. They've both been going to daycare since they've been 3 months old. Dropping her off for a half day of school is just a tease for me. I did have the day off though and I kept Peaches home with me too. So it's not a true "day off" for me. I love my kids but I could not do this full time. And I know that about myself. I like to think that doesn't make me a bad mother.
In any event, during the year, I don't usually do the drop off - the Dad does. It just works better for our schedules. I take Peaches, he takes Bean. So I haven't had a chance to bond with the other parents. It took me all of last year, of going to birthday parties and school events to form a "relationship" with some of the other parents. And when I say "relationship", I mean that I am comfortable enough to say hello to them. So today was slightly awkward for me. I guess I'm just not that social. I want to be but when I get around a group of women I don't know that well - it's like high school all over again. And I HATED high school.
Back to work tomorrow (after being off for almost a week). Summer is over and, truth be told, I'm kind of glad. We need some structure back in our lives. And I like being holed up with the kids and the Dad in the cold weather. It makes me feel less guilty for sleeping late on the weekends and not doing too much outside with them.
Wow - do I sound anti-social? The Dad would totally NOT agree with that.
