One down, 180 to go

School days, that is.

Originally I was planning to begin on August 31, until I remembered that little business about taking Kendra out to college.

THEN I was going to start on the 2nd, the day after returning from Indiana, but alas, I did not feel mentally up to the task of overseeing THE SCHOOL SUBJECT ORGANIZATION PROJECT, so I put it off one more day and did my laundry, instead.

Momentous moments of the day:

1) Ethan received the ORDER OF THE BLACK NOTEBOOK, the thrilling award of Derek's old binder.

2) Nolan got through his first math lesson pretty much by himself, and with a perfect score ("Oh please, oh please, oh please....!")

3) The kids have transitioned fairly well from lounging about and watching Sesame Street, followed by unmonitored Star Trek Armada game time, to getting up, not bugging Mommy (TOO much), doing their school work and waiting until after lunch for their limited computer game time.

Momentous comments of the day:

1) Can we have fried egg sandwiches for lunch? (nope, too much trouble)

2) If I make them, can we have fried egg sandwiches for lunch? (didn't I say no?)

3) What are we having for supper? (not sure, but it's not gonna involve meat)

3) Could we have fried egg sandwiches for supper, then? (ETHAN!)

4) Is it really an hour and a half until lunch ? (read: Ethan can't wait until he's allowed a multiplayer of Star Trek Armada)

Only 6 more years until that kid goes to college...
