Susan; Thanks! I'm amazed and delighted at how quickly they settle, but don't you wish they'd stop growing for just a little while longer? I hope you're okay, planning tons of posted care-packages I'm sure :) Cathy; Ooooh secondary school! When parents should be seen and not heard - if even that. Good luck!! Jenny; I guess it's only hard if you make it so. There's no point in being masochistic about it, even if you want to be. John Braine; Some shins just need to be kicked though, and somebody has to do it. Long live little shits, I say, for I was one too. Naoise; See though, it could be worse, he could want to BE a blonde little girl. Vicky; Aww, bless!! How sweet that you stayed friends, that's so rare. Baino; The lunchtime finish - I almost forgot, too! Thank f* for pre-set mobile phone alarms I say. Xbox; Oh that's a bummer. I bet that kid was you, wasn't it? Go on, you can tell us, we won't laugh!! Grannymar; That she will. I'm sure she'll feel the same on that day she carts me off for my first day of old folk's home.

Thank your lucky stars that she's well adjusted enough to become part of it straight away. Here they literally shoo clinging parents away so that the kids don't get upset. Mine never had a problem, even though I forgot to pick Ads up on his first day (they finished at lunchtime for the first week!) And there are worse things than having 9-3 just you and your dog!

He stood in the middle of room looked at everyone for about a minute then went and sat between two other kids and started talking to them. No way would I ever have the nerve to do that. When I picked him up I asked him who he had sat beside and he told me 'a new Cillian and a beautiful girl'. We have bets on that the girl is blonde. He has a thing for cute blonde little girls. He has been known to stalk them around the playground. My little fella started today too.

Her name was Noddy, and she was about 120 years old. Well her real name wasn't noddy of course, her head just wobbled all the time. No doubt from little shits kicking her in the shins.

It sounds like a good start. Last week I left my oldest in a faraway house to start her new life without us. I kept thinking of things to tell her, advice, goodbyes, anything, while she and everyone else was surely wishing I would just get in the damn car. One last long tight hug and I really got in, and my husband drove away and around the corner... while I'm thinking, 'What the hell is going on? We can't just LEAVE her!' We did. I'm still in shock. Good luck to you and the dog! I hope the first day is going beautifully meanwhile. Congratulations to P and I hope she’s having a wonderful day at school! It sounds like a good start.
