Out of My Mind

Sebastian had a good first day of school.  He said he even made a new friend.  About 2/3 of the kids in his class are kids he was with in either 1st or 2nd grade or that he knew from Prime Time, so that is nice for him.  He was a bit sad because his best bud Shin isn’t in his class this year, but the hubby and I think that might actually be a good thing.  It kind of forces him to use his socialization skills and befriend other kids instead of always relying in Shin. 

I didn’t walk him into school this morning, either.  Just left him at the front door when the bell rang.  I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal, but I’m trying to be less of a helicopter parent who has to be in control of everything, and that’s a start for me.  A small start, but everybody has to start somewhere.

I have my first on-campus class tonight.  Thankfully, it’s at the Oakland Center in Farmington, so it’s only about 15-20 minutes from here.  Unfortunately, the hubby got stock with a phone meeting this afternoon.  The plan for this semester (because hopefully, I can get all online classes again next semester!) is that he will leave work early on Thursdays, giving me time to get to campus, park and get into my classroom.  He’ll leave between 4-4:30.  Since today is the first class, he was going ot leave at 4, just to give me time to get there early and find my way around a bit.  On Tuesday, he came home from work and said he had a phone meeting scheduled at 4 for today, one he couldn’t really get out of.  Well, he was told he could leave early if he absolutely had to, but it was implied that he really needed to stay.  Ugh.  So now I’m going to be taking Seb with me to campus and the hubby will meet us there in front of the main building and hopefully, he’ll make it there before 5:30 when my class starts.  This is one of those times where I really wish we had family living closer.

Also, I did end up getting my hair cut last week.  I’m not totally in love with it.  She asked if I wanted bangs and I said yes.  I’m thinking I should have said no.  But oh, well.  It’s just hair and will grow out.  here are some pictures.

She cut a ton of hair off.  It was probably about 4 inches past my shoulders in the back.  It’s still a little weird when I go to wash my hair.  I expect to grab big handfulls of hair to scrub, and there’s nothing there.
