I know, I know 2 posts in 1 week is a bit much for me, but... Hayden started back to school last Thursday, and she is LOVING it! YEAH!!! She looked so cute her first day and was very excited about being a WALKER! I walked her to school the whole 3 blocks (if that) the 1st 2 days and now she wants to be big and go by herself. I know I am a little crazy and a bit over protective, but I make her take the "walky-talky" with her and call me when she is about to go into the school and again when she is on her way home (Jared has already told me I'm nuts). But you can never be too safe and you just never know what kind of crazies there are out there (maybe I should stop watching CSI and Law and Order) anyway, the second day she went alone, I never got the call saying she was there. So I just figured she must have forgotten so I tried to go about my day, but around 9am (30 min after school started) I just couldn't stand it. I called the school and told the secretary that I was just a little neurotic and wanted to make sure she made it there okay, she kinda laughed and said she understood and called her class and YES Hayden was in class- wheeew! So apparently we had gotten out stations switched and she was calling, but I couldn't hear, so lesson learned... If I don't want to be the crazy mom who calls the school every day... CHECK the walky-talky BEFORE she leaves. Here are some cute photos of the 1st day...

Your house looks really cute. I'll have to come see it. There are too many bad feelings between Matt and I and I don't want that when I go to have my blessing. I know it's bad, but I want it to be a good experience. I've lived and learned for the past couple of years and I can already see how that night would go. Going to Lake Powell isn't really an option for me. Not because of Miley, but because I wasn't invited. We're too different people and he keeps trying to turn this whole thing onto me. I've talked to the bishop and I've also gone to my doctor for counseling. Matt said that he would go, but he won't. He was supposed to come talk to the bishop with me, but he disappeared like always. He doesn't want to grow up and he doesn't want to be responsible. He just wants to play and let everyone take care of him. I can't take it anymore. The fact that he wouldn't go with me to the bishop made it clear that he's not ready to change. This weekend will be nice being apart. We need that more than we need to be together. I don't know what will happen, but I'm trying to hang in there. Give me your address and I'll try to come up one night to see your house. It looks really cute and Hayden looked cute for the first day of school. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about school anymore. That was 7 years ago and I'm still happy I don't have to go!
I laughed so hard! Juli you have lived in Houston tooo Long!! And yes a little to much csi and without a trace:). Though the bus stop is around the corner, Chad or I escort the kids. We are the smart ones!! Hayden looked awesome!
It's better to be safe and check on the kids than not know in my opinion. This world is full of crazy people. I know all too well what can happen in a few seconds even in a neighborhood where you know your neighbors (even in Utah). Here in Houston in our neighborhood and all around actually there are constantly stories of attemted kidnappings.
I called last year to make sure Benjamin was in class after there was some confusion whether he had gotten on the bus or not (I was sick and Greg was trying to take care of other things at the same time). It had seemed that he had disappeared.
Fortunately, the school and the teacher were understanding and I didn't feel very stupid.
So, keep on being the way you are. It just shows you are a great mom who is aware of her children.
I'm right there with you.
