First Day, Part 1

The weather report mentioned "tropical humidity" this morning and the kids wanted to know what that meant. I told them it was going to rain today. Sooner rather than later, it turns out.

We were all gathered, introducing ourselves (two other girls at the stop are in Elizabeth's class - one recognized her from the Open House), and then the clouds let loose, soaking us to the skin. At least this gives them plenty of conversation starters on their way to school. Also, the bus arrived empty so they will be spared that sick feeling of asking a stranger if this seat is taken.

Thanks. It felt really weird leaving for work before the kids left for school.

Bummer about the rain -- I heard it here but didn't check the clock or make the connection.

I eagerly anticipate part II :)

A first day of school when the traditional yellow slicker would have been appropriate.
