WOW! The 1st Day of School

It's hard to believe that it is the first day of school already. The alarm went off at 5:15 a.m. in the Coffman household. I got up thinking that I would have a few minutes to myself before everybody was up and to enjoy my coffee. That didn't happen. Devan was already in the shower, Taylor came bounding out of her room wide awake. She had been awake since 4 something in the morning. She was excited and nervous too. Poor thing couldn't even eat breakfast.
But before all that, Danny had to get up and have Devan at soccer practice by 6. Yes, that is 6 a.m. before school. Taylor for the firs time ever got ready really fast and on time. We had to leave for the bus stop at 6:30. She was off with out a hitch. Time for things to get really hectic, I had to be at the soccer field at 7:15 to get Devan, and it was funny, I think that was the first time I have seen them boys hustle that fast. When the coach dismissed the team, they scurried off that field super quick. We ran Devan home and he showered super quick and we then turned around and reloaded the car, with Brookie. We got him to school with minutes to spare. It was crazy. He got mad at his mom for taking his picture when he got out of the car. I love to embarrass my kids.
Brookie and myself and my nephew Bryce all hung out and went and ran at Jill's house, and then we went and had lunch with Danny!!! It was fun. I couldn't wait to get back and see the kids when they got home.
Taylor got home about 2:40 and had some good stories. The best was she was trying to do her locker and Danny (who was a locker dad) came up behind her and scared her to death. She couldn't get her locker opened and after about 2 tries, Danny tried and couldn't do it either, he asked her what her number was, and come to find out she was at the wrong locker. lol She said she enjoyed her day, her knew shoes gave her terrible blisters. She brought home home-work, and did that as soon as she walked in the door. I had a ton of papers to sign, and read. I felt like I was back in school.
I went down to wait for Devan to get off the bus and that was start of our fist argument of the year. He could not believe that I came down there and embarrassed him like that, taking his picture when he got off the bus. I told him to get over it, that I would be doing it when he was a senior. He didn't have to much to say. It went good. I only received one supply list from one teacher. He had a worksheet for Spanish that we disagreed on. But since this was his second year at the High School he wasn't nervous or anything. I know it will get way more hectic with him though.
We had a great first day of school. I hope that every morning can go as smoothly as this one did! Taylor getting on the bus
