This week was a week of
firsts. And let me tell you, it has been
a flurry of activity. So , today’s post
will be brought to you by Instagram and this awesome new app I am obsessed with
called Heyku.
Marie’s first day of 2nd
grade:
I drove her to school
per her request. I stood in line with
her. Until she didn’t want me to stand
next to her. Until she changed her mind
and slipped her hand into mine and whispered in my ear that she was a little
nervous. I would be lying if few tears
didn’t well up in my eyes as I left the school parking lot.
The next day she took
the bus. Her first time on a new bus was
successful! I was inspired to write this
Heyku:
All was well, until it
wasn’t. Here is my Facebook status that was
inspired by the first time Marie got on the wrong bus and the school had a
difficult time finding her:

| I learned a few important lessons that day. But that is a different blog post. |
Because I chose not to
freak out and quietly implode after she was delivered home safely, I wrote this
Hayku after everyone was safe in bed:
If you have been reading
my blog or following me on Twitter or Facebook, you know I’ve been busy putting
together a new course on social media. Today was the first day of class. I had a hard time sleeping since I was
nervous so I decided to express myself in a HeyKu. Naturally.
Here I am on the morning of the first day of class.

| Thanks to the great filters and industrial strength makeup, you don't see the circles and chin acne that sprouted overnight. |
I
actually put on real clothes and drove on the big, scary expressway during rush
hour traffic to a building I’ve never been to in a city I don’t know very
well. Oh, and the class went very well,
too.
Someone else had a big
day today, too.
Thomas went to his first
day of PreK 4. He rocked the first drop
off – like a boss. He sat right down on
the carpet and didn’t look back.
Of
course this could all change next week, but I am thankful that at least the
first day went well. It made it easier
for me to enjoy my cup of coffee. In
silence. Doing whatever I want. Especially eating a cookie the size of my
face without having to share.
How was your first week
back to school? Happy? Sad?
Mixed emotions?
