			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first day of school went great for all involved.  I woke my sorry, lazy summer self up at 5:40am and then proceeded to get myself and everyone ready.  My goodness .. I thought for sure I would have extra time but by the time everything was done?  NOT!  No extra time.  It was off to the bus.</p>
<p>But I did get a couple of great photos and though I almost never do this, I&#8217;ll post them on my blog. </p>
<p><center>My little man &#8230;<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blissful1/4968469018/" title="First day of Kindergarten! by blissful1, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/4968469018_f4f557c50d.jpg" width="500" height="459" alt="First day of Kindergarten!" /></a><br />off to Kindergarten!
<p>
and my princess, the new first grader!<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blissful1/4967860977/" title="First day of 1st grade! by blissful1, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/4967860977_07c8ebe4ce.jpg" width="500" height="458" alt="First day of 1st grade!" /></a></p>

<p>My squinty children.  They don&#8217;t look like that all of the time.  Only when I have my camera in hand and ask them to smile.  *sighs*  </p>
<p>While I had my anxiety over the whole thing I am very calm now.  It must be that 3.5 hrs of free time I had to myself.  And since I did all of my housework yesterday, that time was totally MINE!  I spent it looking at the clock, waiting to go pick my kids up from the bus stop.  lol  Tomorrow I have big plans of actually using it wisely and running errands &#8230; alone.  *shudders*  I get tingly just thinking about it.</p>
