It's not even lunchtime yet and we've already had quite an exciting day!
First we had Ethan's first day of school and all of the hoopla that came with that. It's always an adventure taking all three kids anywhere by myself, but throw in a hundred or so other children and all of their parents and siblings, and it quickly becomes a circus.
To make matters worse there's a new principal at the school who felt the need to make her mark on things from the get go. A great big, stupid, inconvenient and incomprehensible mark. Rather than continue to use the large, conveniently and centrally located basketball court to line up all of the children in one place that allows parents to park in either of two different areas, the new system has them crammed together in a much smaller space on the side of the building with a great big bottleneck that creates confusion any time one group is going one way and another group the other, and where all of the parents have to use the same too-small parking lot.
