First Day of School, Maybe

Monday August 20th, first day of kindergarten. Or so we thought, the Pilot and I were very excited to take our d-boy to school. We packed his lunch and his back pack, new clothes, and all 3 of us happily walked 2 blocks to school. Once we arrived the school bell rang however the area where we were wasn't very full. That should've been our first clue. Then the teacher opened the door after the bell and all the parents & kids walked in.  Good sign, I noticed the other kids had pillows, and of course we had forgot d-boy's, so I ran home to get his pillow.
When I returned the parents were still in the class room and kids were dumping off the communal kids supplies. As the pilot and I were sitting on the floor I started to see parents leaving.....with their children. "WHAT???" I thought today was the first day of school. To our dismay we were told this was only an open house. As we told our little precious d-boy, I thought he was going to cry. I wanted to tell him, Honey we feel the exact same way. I was looking forward to the mommy and daddy time I was supposed to have today. At this point asking our new son's teacher to "watch" him till open house was done was probably out of the question. All 3 of us left the classroom with our heads down and sad faces.
New plan, I called the neighbor to watch our d-boy so we could go out to breakfast. Not exactly what I had in mind but our mommy & daddy time would have to wait till Tuesday.
I don't want to leave out the wonderful parents we judged when we went to school. I have to mention that right before we walked to the school I had run 2 miles and not had my coffee yet. A very energetic couple was in my face shaking my hand and telling me their names. Well Rich and Neda (not really sure if these were their names), I haven't had coffee and I'm sweaty so back away. I was thinking as they were shaking my hand that I will have to avoid them tomorrow.
I will end this blog today by saying the way I like to meet someone is to feel like we are in the middle of a conversation. So hopefully this first glimpse into my life feels just like that...
