Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

First Day of School, 2010 style





Yesterday was the first day of school for J&J. Let's hear how it went in their own words...

Jacob--It was good. The day seemed really long. We had to sit at our desks all day. We spent an hour organizing our desks. (Those are negatives, btw.) Hopefully today's a bit better.

Julianna--It was good, except, the teacher kept calling me Rebekah. (The teacher, who is awesome, and I'm sure will master her name soon, had Rebekah 12 years ago.) Then, she started calling me "Miss Rittenberg". It makes everyone stop and stare at me. (This was accompanied by tears, which I'm sure were much more about first day exhaustion than what she was or was not called.)

Here's hoping day two goes well. :)

[Look at that! A nice, safe, benign blog topic. Thanks for all those who have checked in. I'm much better than yesterday. I'll get there.]

Happy 1st day of school! The kids look great. Sounds like first day jitters. Wish we would start soon too...

I can relate to being called a sibling's name. Hope the teacher soon realizes that she is not her sister!
