Well, I survived the first day of school....so far. :-) DD has been all excited about going to a new school, but when we got there, she started getting a little nervous. It didn't help any that her teacher was stuck in traffic due to some accident between her house and school. (As far as I know, the teacher wasn't involved in the accident, just stuck in traffic.) DS...the youngest and starting pre-K...appeared to be just fine. He was scared last night, and wanted me to stay at school with him, which of course I told him I couldn't do. Yes, I cried after I left the room. But he appeared to be just fine after he got to school. I picked him up for a hug and kiss when DH & I went to leave. I got a kiss, but when I went for a hug, he pushed away and said "Put me down!" He was ready to go play! So, it looks like he'll be just fine, and he has such a wonderful teacher. Both kids go to the same school, which is very convienent, I must say. LOL

Poor DS. He asked if I was going to go with him in Daddy's car. So I had to tell him no, because I was going to drive our SUV. "Why?" (Famous word for him.) "Well, after Mommy & Daddy get you settled at school, I have to go to Wal Mart and get some shopping done." "You're going to sell me?!?!?!?!?!" I wanted to laugh so hard, but I didn't. I said "settled" but he heard "sell". I assured him that I would never sell him and had to explain what "settled" meant. Not an easy thing to do when my brain hasn't kicked in yet!! LOL

I just had to share with others who would understand. Yes, I took pictures of both kids. Yes, the conversatoin about settled & sell is going in the journaling!!

I'm glad you survived and glad that they are both settled into school. ! There was in fact a tanker with dangerous chemicals overturned on I-30 which caused all the eastbound lanes to be closed for hours! It must have been terrible trying to find another way around it.

BTW I have the pass for Curves I promised I'd get, so let me know when you want to start! Personally I like to go for sure on Wednesdays between 10 and 3 as my scrapbooking friend is the instructor during that time frame and it's always more fun when she is there.

Heehhee, you know you were going to sell that boy! LOL I had to laugh! I took a picture of the boys, in front of the tree in our front yard. Every year we've lived here we've done that. They were growling at me. So I simply told 'em if they didn't smile I was going to do something to embarrass them when the bus arrived. They both quickly put on a smile! LOL Though that's not as bad as selling them! LOL

The accident occured at 04:30 on I-30 east bound. Had both directions of I-30 shut down between I-530 into/from Pine Bluff and 65th street. About

06:30 they started letting traffic through East bound but hey it had 2 hours of back up to clear! There were alot of late people today. The accident was a tanker haz-mat load of (I believe) acrylic acid. They were waiting on a Haz-Mat company to get there to assess then get necessary equipment to clean it up. If they are as slow getting there as they were last day I worked they interstate is still shut down West bound. We had to wait 3 1/2 hours before someone showed, that's not including clean up time!
