Weird, weird, weird! Yesterday felt so weird! After nine years of homeschooling my 14 year old and his 11 year old brother, they both went off to school for their first day yesterday. Z is a freshman in high school and J is a 6th grader at the neighborhood elementary. Both of them are already very comfortable at the schools: J tried his on for size last spring for 6 weeks, and Z has been taking math and French at the high school for two years and has club wrestling practice there too. But yesterday was weird - they were both gone all day at the same time!

The first day went pretty well for both of them. J has most of his buddies from last year in his same classroom, and he has hit it off with his new teacher already, although she has a rep as the "stricter" of the two 6th grade teachers. He came home exhausted and hungry.

Z had a bit more adventure at the high school. He was threatened with a "swirlie" by a senior who "didn't like" his wrestling sweatshirt. Thankfully the senior was accompanied by another who knows Z (and his abilities) from the wrestling club and he talked him down. On another threatening-in-a-different-way note, Z is the ONLY GUY in his PE aerobics class last period. Whoo-hoo! Z and 30 girls!
I neglected to take any back-to-school photos, stunned as I was in the a.m. sprint yesterday, so here is a pic of me at work on my mural for your viewing pleasure...

I feel out of the times. What's a "Swirlie"? No comment on the aerobics class.
Ups... Al parecer sí es tu creación. Si es así, continúa deleitándonos con tu arte.
