Ugh. Mondays!!!

As much as I prefer the school year to summer vacation, I remembered this weekend one of the downsides to the school year.  The kids get into the habit of waking up early (this year they adjusted quick!), and don't sleep in on the weekends.  So I don't get to either!  Oh well.  In the scheme of things this is minor.  The school year is easier, when Del goes to school, since they have to be on a such a strict schedule.  But Mondays are always rough.  This morning it was a slightly late start, no time to play computer before we left for the bus, and a broken plate....  The up side is that he got on the bus with no problems.  I did call the school and talk to one of the paras and let them know about his morning though.  Since I don't like being blindsided with stuff, I try not to do that to others.  He may be just fine when he gets there but don't want to take the chance that he isn't.

Del had a big weekend.  Danny asked on Friday if he could have a friend come over to hang out for a while on Saturday.  Through some misunderstanding between them, the friend thought he was spending the night.  Not something we usually allow since Del doesn't do very well with strangers in the house, but I decided to go ahead and try it.  Del was kinda wound up at first, but he settled and did ok later.  I didn't take Danny's friend home until 1:30 yesterday afternoon, so that gave Del more time to adjust to someone else being in the house.  He did fairly well overall but it isn't something I would want to do every weekend I don't think.

Here's to keeping our fingers crossed that we get through this week as well as we did last week......

Just have to keep in mind:   

Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
