Start of School

School starts today.

Of course, when Kid2 is on an on-line/homeschool kind of thing it doesn't really matter. She's almost finished with one semester of one of her 8th grade classes...it's a work-at-your-own-pace kind of thing and she claims she's trying to graduate with Kelsey. I'm not so sure she can do that, but what it does do is make the official start date of school irrelevant. She really never stops but rather takes breaks here and there.

Kid1 had to get up early to get to far south Dallas as today's the day she starts at Booker T. Washington. She made her lunch last night to maximize sleep time, and was off this morning with her travel coffee mug loaded, which made it easier to carry art supplies. I think students who attend schools for the visual and performing arts wind up carrying a lot of awkwardly shaped materials. One of her friends plays the cello.

Speed zones are back in effect. There was already a wreck on Morriss Road at 6:30AM.

Our new semblance of normalcy begins today.

But...

...for some reason...

...it doesn't seem like it's going to be very normal.
