First Day of School...on Twitter
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 at 09:49PM
Yes, I think I do have a Twitter obsession, but it's fun. Quick Twitter-recap first day back to school for 9yo ADHD Phenom (4th grade), 12yo Drama Queen (7th grade) and 14yo Puberty Angst Boy (9th grade). I'm a high school mom now - that seems just so wrong! And did you notice? I've got three kids in three different schools: elementary, middle and high school, too! Not that I'm complaining or anything, but it is going to be an interesting year...

11:17 AM Ahhh...Mom's New Year! 2hrs late - elem bus never showed up, entire schedule backed up, evrybdy late, but, finally...it has begun!
11:21 AM It's just me & Mocha-the-dog for the next 4hrs...until, hopefully, PM bus does show up w/my baby. I don't even know where to start...mess!
11:26 AM - Oh, the rain-postponed #NASCAR Race at Watkin's Glen is about to start! Go @jpmontoya Target #42! Following race on Twitter @NASCARSays
11:43 AM - Completely cut off from technology in my own home: without kids, I don't know how to make tv/dvr work! It's stuck on the Wii. TG for iPhone.
12:36 PM - #NASCAR race has begun & just got email from teacher: 9yo ADHD Phenom yanked out a loose tooth at lunch (his own, thank god)! Sofar, sogood.
1:24 PM - #NASCAR Hubby just talked me thru via phone to get TV on & set DVR to record race, almost 1/2way. Tried not to see - Harvick out already?!
1:40 PM - Have had 2 Krispy Kreme donuts - w/sprinkles! - to help first day BTS. Buzzin 2 explode now. Had 2 eat 2nd to save children - KK not4kids!
2:01 PM - Here's me, working off donut buzz! Rebel Review & CONTEST this week: GIRLS LIKE US by Sheila Weller. Great rock&roll bio...#books
2:11 PM - #books - GIRLS LIKE US: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon -- and the Journey of a Generation by Sheila Weller.
3:06 PM - Oh good lord, final minutes of the #NASCAR race...time to go meet the school bus! Going to Twitterific on iPhone--
3:27 PM - Waiting at the elem schoolbus stop, first day of school. It is v. HOT. Can't wait to hear about 1st day of 4th grade! & 7th! & 9th!
3:46 PM - Ack! Elem school bus broke down - had to go pick up at school. Lots of confusion 1st day - brand-new school #AtlantaPublicSchools
4:50 PM - Still missing our new high school student, but I'm sure he'll come ambling home anytime now. 7th grade (12yo Drama Queen) is AWESOME!
Final Thought, which seems so appropriate to kinda-stressful first day of school - and WORK, for Mom (although, honestly, I accomplished almost nothing):
