Day 1

Okay, here is my version of the first day of school.

I got there at 5:15 and was nervous, not because of the school itself, but I was only able to talk to David for 5 minutes to give him instructions for the evening before leaving for school. I told him about dinner, cold medicine for Quinten and the like. I got to school hoping that he wouldn't sit the boys in front of a video game for entertainment.
Anyway, so I get to school and met with the administration lady, who gave me some more paperwork and I could tell she was off in another world. I think she was really busy and wasn't her normal self.
I went into the classroom and met the people that will be in my class for the next 16 months. I talked to one of the girls, Marie, who is 27 and has an 8 year old and 2 year old. She, too, has been a stay at home Mom and is going to school to do something for her. I think she will be my friend. There were several people there, who were already friends, talking and hanging out. Those people smoke a lot of cigarettes, as it seems like every break, they are out smoking. There was one guy who looked questionable, but 1 out of 10 isn't bad. There weren't as many chola's as I thought, which is really good.
The class itself was way boring. We watched an hour or so of videos. That was not good for me because I had been up a lot the night before with my sicky Quinten. The last hour and a half of class we watched a demonstration of an A-line cut by our instructor.
I am telling you, I thought 9:30 would never come. I felt like the hours kept dragging on and on. I think tonight will be better. We are doing cutting on our plastic ladies tonight, which I can't wait for. I think these classes are very relaxed and there is a lot of hanging out. I have to get use to a whole other attitude toward work. I mean, if I had just sat around in police academy I would have been ordered to do push ups or run or something.
So, I will blog, hopefully daily, so you can get an idea as to what happened. I can tell this is going to be hard on me. David, thankfully is in training this week so he can be home at night with the boys in the evening. I was told by Gavin this morning, that Daddy let them play video games and drink soda at dinner. I will have to set things straight before I got the school tonight.
