We had our official first day of the new school year today. I had a few moments of grief from my kids early in the day but I nipped it in the bud and the rest of the day went much better. I haven’t quite got my schedule between work, school, and home totally worked out, but I’m working on it.  I will be taking Algebra 2 and Chemistry alongside my son this year as I never had those courses in school, so technically we are all going back to school. I am planning to add more field trips into our school year also. Last year we really did not go to too many extra places and I missed that as much as the kids did. So, as I told my husband tonight after supper: 1 day down, 179 to go.
