First Day of School: 04/11/06

Sean fit right in with the kids at the new school. When Ian left him, he was sitting at the table eating waffles and chatting. The topic of the morning was working mothers: "My mother is at work. Yeah. Mine too." and so on.

I used Google Maps to find the most efficient way to get to the new school. There is a definite flow to the traffic from the 92 through Hayward and into Castro Valley. If I follow the flow and then pull off at the very end to go through the hills rather than cutting straight through Fairview and then going along the flat bits of Castro Valley, I cut half an hour to forty-five minutes off my trip to pick up Sean even though the path is sometimes longer.

Anyway, yesterday I under estimated just how good my short cut for Sean's new school was and ended up driving right by it! I had to turn around. Nonetheless, I was there much earlier than I expected. Unfortunately Sean wasn't ready to go home. He was in the playroom with another boy and they were playing with an alphabet toy. They were pretending the different letters were race cars!

It took me about ten minutes to convince Sean that it was time to go home. Finally I got him to go but all the way home he asked if he would be going back to school in the morning. He had a really good day.

The Cold, Day 7:

I actually slept last night. Today I just have a little bit of the cough remaining in the form of a small pocket of congestion in my chest. My nose has gone back to normal pregnancy congestion so it is annoying but I can at least breathe.

Rain:

In protest of the continuing rain (we can expect at least five more days of it), I have changed my header to rain clouds. They will remain there until things dry out and I am able to plant my vegetable garden!
