I don't have the energy and the time to write my heart tonight so I will just have to give you some highlights of the day.
First of all we were put in a school I had only heard bad things about, so I was freaking out all last week trying to get the principal of our old school to call me and see if it was a mistake. She never did so I finally got a hold of somebody who told me it was no mistake. So I, being me, you know, me who doesn't like change of plans without time to adjust to them, or not good surprises, whatever you want to call it....yeah.
So I went in to the NEW school on Friday and talked with the secretary who was EXTREMELY NICE, 1st. answer to prayer.
Came home told Jadyn who has a hard time with new schools and unexpected changed with unknown outcomes, like me. She kinda was upset just because she was nervous but was not to bad. 2nd answer to prayer.
Today -First day of school. What a relief when they came home! Jadyn LOVED it, said she is going back there next year and it felt like she was back in Ohio ( she loved her school in Moraine Meadows) she loved the SO NICE librarian, had NICE lunch aids, LOVES her NICE teacher....everything she can't wait till tomorrow. She made 3 friends which for Jadyn is another answer to prayer! I guess if you don't know what school has been like for her since we moved you wouldn't understand what a huge answer to prayer all this was. I pray that God blesses her the rest of the year with what He knows is best even when I didn't know He knew and worked it out for our good.
Ethan-First day of school, Kindergarten. I kept busy all day and even know I have so much I need to do before I can go to bed. He tried hard not to break down and cry, but kept taking both hands and wiping the tears away as if that would make him not cry. He did so good though, here is is commentary of the day.
Me: Ethan! did you like it? Ethan-puts head down and shakes no. Me: you didn't?! Did you like your teacher? was she nice? Ethan: No to both those too (he did like Mrs. Cain from church she is his class aid)...he is acting pitiful like he had the worst day of his life....
we live less than 4 mins from the school and before we got home he could no longer pretend that he hated school and was miserable so he became animated and here was the rush of his day,
He made a new friend, his name is Caleb Snake, there is a mean boy in class who has moles all over his face, no he has a million moles all over his body and he hit me with his hand....(I ask what Ethan did) "I HIT HIM BACK!" Another little boy had cuts all over his arms and he picked off his scabs and put it on me! ...(I appropriately freak out.....) had a hamburger for lunch, I am soooo tired, my feet hurt so bad, my back hurts I am wore out, I had to set on the floor all day, WE HAVE TWO PLAYGROUNDS!, I am so tired, I am hungry, I am thirsty, my feet hurt. Mom, do you know what to do if you need more friends? You just go up to somebody and say Hey, do you want to be my friend, cause that's what I did and he said yes and that is all you have to do to make a friend!
Cayden and Tre`- Loved it. Tre first year of middle school and he absolutely loves it. Ethan was wondering who the prettiest girl in the world was and Cayden told him he knew, I guess the prettiest girl in the world is, in all Cayden's classes, according to him.....think I need to check this one out! From Tre` I got, they have the best pizza in the world at school and He loved all his teachers and made soooo many new friends plus seen all his old friends.
Me: I did laundry......all day, no joke I still have another 2 loads to fold but I took a break to blog and read facebook, made peach Jam, was going to freeze salsa but have no jars so that will have to wait., cleaned out Ethan's drawers, organized his clothes....and still only marked one thing off my to do list and it was not even laundry it was a simple phone call.....sigh.....I missed them all day. I hugged Cayden and Tre` so tight when they got home.....Tre` just kinda stood there, I said well I guess you all didn't miss me like i missed you all!
So tomorrow is another day and it begins in 10 mins and i have yet to finish today so I better run.
I will tell you later about another prayer God answered for us today, I know these aren't big prayers or miracles to you but they are important to me and small as they were God heard them and took time to answer all these little worries that has tormented me for weeks now, and for that I am grateful.
