Tuesday: Day Off

After I finished my blog last night and totted up my athletic output for the past few days, it occurred to me that I needed to take today off.  Also, my day was quite busy, and the workout would not have fit in anyway.  It was perfect!!

Today, I was up early for an appointment, then we packed Ivan off for his first day of nursery school.  NURSERY SCHOOL.  It was major.  I packed a lunch box and matching back pack. Yesterday, I ironed two whole outfits for Ivan to wear (a cool morning possibility and a warm morning possibility) and washed and ironed my brother's quilted rest mat cover for Ivan to use.  We have been talking it up for weeks, and every once in a while Ivan has proclaimed triumphantly to us, "I GO SCHOOL".  He says it in all caps, as if he is telling us that he is too old for whatever shenanigans we are demanding of him.

Ivan had a great day, but when I picked him up, I realized that I had violated a few rules of preschool program.  I had packed popcorn which is apparently a huge choking hazard, and I had forgotten Ivan's folder, which is a big deal.  Finally, I did not pack Ivan's lunch in a tri-divide plate.  For this reason, I fully intend to read all information that the school sends me from here on out, so as not to make the same mistakes again and therefor appear to be a terrible and uninterested parent.

On to the rest of my day off:  I started Bible study.  We are studying the book of James, and it was a nice day as our small group leader brought bagels and cream cheese.
