Congrats on entering the wonderful world of high school. I'm still dreaming of your pink laptop - and Mike is rolling his eyes at me. I'm threatening to buy a pink mouse. ::snort:: Looks like a spectacular breakfast…err… first day of school. Congrats on entering the wonderful world of high school.

In return, you are welcome to live vicariously through us. We'll tell you all about visits to the principal's office, wetting pants in gym class, and school lunches (YAY Salisbury Steak Day!!! Seriously, they love it). If you leave the bell going all day, it'll help you keep track of time passing while you're doing other things too. Like spending too much time blogging or darning socks.

One for each of us with our name on it. Each one using the same one all day long - rinsing it out as necessary... Toss out at night and start with a new fresh one the next day. I'm sure it saves us about 18 glass washings a DAY! Oh.. and another thing we do is get a fresh plastic cup out each morning. One for each of us with our name on it.

And paper plates are a GREAT thing! We use them for as many meals as possible this time of the year. LOL about the bell. And paper plates are a GREAT thing!

When I asked at supper-time, "Who thinks the best part of the day was the bell?", I saw at least three hands. (OK, maybe two of them were mine, but still.) I had such fun with it. Working from home yesterday, I would run downstairs every time I heard the bell, and start shouting: "There was the bell! What are you supposed to be doing next? Where's the schedule?" I think there should be more shouting in general -- why should kids get all the fun? Hey, I thought the school bell was a great idea!

When the kids had to leave to go to school, I tried really hard to make them a nice hot breakfast each morning. Nowadays, since we are all staying home, it tends to be just cereal, yogurt and toast. Sometimes I will still make breakfast, but not nearly as often! That definitely requires me to get up and get going earlier. Hang in there Kathy, you will get in a groove! Mmmm, we love Aggkaka.
