This shot is from the house on Lime in September - notice I said September, not August!! - of 1979. Bonny and Harry on their first day of school at Bradoaks. Phoebe is standing there in her pajamas, shading her eyes from the sun!!
Bonny and Harry made out like banditos that year - school had ended in May in Utah - in August we moved to Monrovia - and in September they started school. They got a couple of extra weeks that year! (I won't even go into this insane trend in California for starting school earlier each year!!)
And now Bonny has already gotten her kids off to school last week. Harry's kids go tomorrow, and Phoebe and Eliza's Theo go after Labor Day - the way it should be done!! (In fact, I think someone ought to get real and have school go from October 1st to June 30th and we get July, August and September off. I'm not expecting that to happen anytime soon though!!)
And that means I go off to school tomorrow too!! I go kicking and screaming every year - I just have to get through the first day and then I'm fine - but getting there is brutal!!
I should not go on like this. Noah helped me set up my room. Lesson plans are lying on the front desk. There is food in my cupboard at school - I will not starve.
But I will have to set my alarm. I will have to get dressed before 9. I will have to think about what shoes I'm going to wear since I will have to wear them all day!!
I will let you know how it goes - in case you care!!
