The Wilson 6 Chronicles

So our day began at 4:30 am this morning- why would that be you might wonder since school doesn't start until 7-something am? That would be because Zachary was so hyped up about school that he was up at 4:30 am wanting to getting the shower. Seriously. I mean, I used to be excited about the first day of school- heck, even when I was in college, working a real job, and taking care of Zachary, I still got those butterflies of excitement on the first day of classes; but I definitely didn't wake up at 4:30 am! Of course, I also wasn't up until past midnight the night before gorging on the Olympics so perhaps sleep deprivation alters my opinion on the matter. I *might* still be in denial of Zachary even being in 3rd grade. I mean, I remember my 3rd grade year very vividly so it seems freakish to me that I have a kid doing things that I did not that long ago. At one point, my lack of attention span forced me to steal a roll of tape from the supply cabinet in our classroom and use it to make a little chicken-leg shaped tape "sculpture." No joke. I took one piece of tape and ran it from the top to the bottom of the opening on my desk- then slowing wound the rest of the roll around it until the entire roll was gone. Let's just hope that Ms. Allison keeps her supply cabinet locked up tight in case that kind of wackiness is hereditary.
