Today we started school. So far so good. 

This is going to be such a different year. We have a new grading system, a new lesson planner, new routines, new curriculum & schedule and we even have a new report card! I was feeling a bit apprehensive starting this year. This is DS1's last year of the middle years and DS2's last year of the early years. I'm due to have DD1 in January so that needed to be planned for. Thank the good Lord above both boys are about a year ahead, so taking time off when she arrives won't be that big of a deal academically. It might be a big deal for ME to get used to, but hey--I will have a new baby to care for so I will probably not even care after she's here.

It's also feel like I'm losing time on getting ready for high school. I know I'm not and do have this whole year to really prep for it but it feels like I could mess up DS1's future college plans if *I'm* not prepared for it, ya know? 

Anyhow, enough worry for the day about it...we're almost done with the first day and it has been very successful and I am pleased.
