First Day

Today is the first day of school.

We waited a half-hour for the bus, and decided to drive over. (His school isn't far from the house.) I suppose I should have expected this — I don't remember what happened on the first day of school last year, but for the first day of Summer School the bus was late, and it turned out that the buses had been scheduled to drop the kids off at school a half-hour before classes actually started! Clearly, there are a few organizational issues that still need to be worked out. (Next year, I'll try to set my expectations accordingly.)

I have all sorts of plans for this coming year — goals I want to accomplish, things that I want to be. For today, though, I think I'll just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
