Today was the day the subjects had to return to school. It was a long and fun-filled vacation for the little ones. They spent 16 days not thinking about school. As usual when school is in, SuperMom and I got up at 7ish and helped Jr and DP get ready for school. I took them down to the bus stop at 8:00 am and they went off to school. The abnormal behavior this morning was Lu. First she was up when I got up. That is amazing, since the pre-teen, teenager gene has been activated in her and she normally tries to sleep until noon. Not only was she up, but she was singing and talking 90 to nothing like a crackhead on a high. Finally, after wasting as much time as possible before heading off to school, Lu went and grabbed her book bag in order to head to the bus. She commented that her book bag smelled. SuperMom asked if she had left food in there because it smelled so badly. Lu looked through the bag and realized that she had not left food in the bag. Instead, it was her gym (PE) clothes that she brought home to be washed 16 days ago. Now these have remained balled up, probably at the bottom of the bag for 16 complete days. Additionally, she only brings them home once a week. I bet she was a pleasure to partner with in gym today. She never thinks about school unless you make her. Out of sight, out of mind for sure.
