Couple of things...

Well the first day of school has come and gone and it seems "okay". Surprisingly Little March had a rougher day than littlest march did, at least that is what she wants you to hear. She was upset about the lack of "snack" and that she had to "hurry at lunch" and that they had "first recess". If life were always this complicated eh? We try to listen and be supportive. "Give it time, its only the first day" but she worked herself up pretty good. We are helping a single mom in the mornings starting today. The daughter and little are good buddies so the friend arrived about 7:45 and the two got to play before we headed to the bus. Things seemed better.

Littlest March came home and had an empty lunch box and no lunch money (that's good it got used!). He is still a little confused as to why he can't leave school and go to daycare after lunch. He did pretty well. He had music yesterday and told me about circle time but that was about all the water I could get from the stone.

So one down and we are in to day two. Things will get better as the routine gets more locked down.

Onward.

Last night after hockey I was flipping around the late night television shows. I was watching the tale end of Nightline (i don't watch it..I was checking to see if Jimmy Kimmel was on yet). Anyhow, Nightline does a section called "Sign of the Times" and the story was on the latest hot exercise/gym class. Pole Dancing (link is to a CBS story, pretty safe for work image).

The women in the class were talking about how they loved to do it, how they understood how hard the "dancers" work and the like. They never talked to the instructor, but the the class mentioned their favorite part of the class was the "1-3 minute free dance" at the end of the class.

Put out a tip jar and the class might pay for itself.
