Today was officially back-to-school day, you know, like first day of school Not just orientation with the bus screw-ups from yesterday and today there were no bus screw-ups except for the one major bus screw-up Your Daily Lex All right, it’s the first day of school Put the youngest one to bed at 9, even though he was getting up the latest put the older to bed at 930 and Everybody had their alarm set and we were good to go Got the first two the older two on the bus on time the bus came pretty on time a big change from yesterday and Got some got the the inside photo got the outside photo of them together.

Great.

Everything was good Then we have Liam who got up at 6.

He was doing his thing and they told us, you know, we had to be outside for his bus at 655 and so we decided let’s go out at 650 and watched the bus driving away from the stop as we went outside because it had arrived at around 648 and we got Liam and Lauren in the car and Lauren very wisely turned left where she saw the bus turn right so that she could go around and catch it and Indeed she did you got him on the bus?

She said hey, we were supposed to be on the bus bus stop, you know back at my street and the drivers Yep, I’m always gonna be there at that time.

So be ready at 647, which is fine Not a big deal, but we’ve never had a kid miss the bus and that streak ended today He got on the bus, but not right away, but I meant I didn’t get the outside picture And I didn’t get the getting on the bus picture.

I just got the inside picture.

It’s fine Everything’s fine, but it’s not the moment.

I wanted whatever all three of my kids reported not being nervous That’s interesting to me because it’s a new school for two of them I feel like I I don’t remember if I was nervous going into school or not But I expected a little bit of nerves and they all seemed to totally fine Ani did almost forget the Chromebook today, but Sierra caught that and There were some last-minute changes to the lunchly impact and the older two.

We got a call yesterday.

It’s actually kind of weird so we get we get a call yesterday from the high school saying All the high schools are gonna do a half day today and tomorrow because it’s too hot and not all the high schools are fully air Conditioned so because it’s gonna be so oppressively hot.

The way we’re dealing with climate change is sending kids home from school early And the reason for that is every time People put referendums on to say hey, let’s raise taxes by like a teeny tiny amount So that we can afford to put air conditioning in the schools parents like no we don’t want any more taxes and vote it down a hundred percent of the time it’s great and It’s not in any way annoying and then We get a call from Liam school district that is like Hey, we’ve heard that it can maybe be really hot on Thursday and Friday.

We’re not worried about Wednesday.

So Wednesday will be normally but we might close early Thursday and Friday This is weird because the high school is like we’re only concerned about Wednesday and Thursday Friday It looks like it’s gonna be fine.

And then the middle school was like, yep.

Only thing we’re worried about is Thursday and Friday, but Wednesday will be fine These schools are not located in different weather patterns So I don’t really understand what’s happening there, but whatever now Liam for his part was like, I don’t understand they should close my school or early no matter what because It’s not air-conditioned.

No, it is air-conditioned your school is air-conditioned Like no, it’s not or most of it’s not and so then I had to check with his older two siblings who both went to That school and they report the yes It’s all air-conditioned except for one gym and Liam will find out this week which gym he gets but boy I hope he gets the air-conditioned gym for a couple reasons one because that’s the only thing that’s saying to Once he’s in his official schedule, which isn’t today and I think isn’t tomorrow He has Jim first thing and Liam is a 12 year old boy and he can sweat and he can get stinky and man Oh, man, I think it sucks that he has to start his day with sweaty Jim And if he starts his day with even sweatier Jim because it’s not air-conditioned That’s gonna be bad for everybody Everybody including him.

So hopefully that won’t happen.

But it’s the first day of school.

Yay or first half day of school for some of them and Yeah, I don’t know they’re all gonna come home with homework and I think that sucks homework is stupid and I Guess that’s all I have today.

I do feel a little bad because Both parents have rehearsals tonight for different things.

So we won’t put anybody to bed on the first day of school night Not first day of school Eve.

That was yesterday.

But first you get it Anyway, happy Wednesday, and I can’t imagine there’s anybody left who doesn’t have their first day of school yet But good luck to anybody who you know, good luck to everybody.

She’s good luck to everybody and everything.

That’s positive, right?

I think so Lex
