Happy Day!

It's only lunchtime, and it's such a very happy day already.  Agent X made it safely to the bus stop, and despite me being nervous about him riding the bus (granted, he's 10, going into 6th grade, but he's never once ridden the school bus to school before), I was good and let him go and then went and hid behind a bush down the street to make sure he got on safely.  He didn't want me hanging out until the bus came - I'm thinking having your mom stand there waiting for the bus with you is probably still uncool - it was when I was in school.

Now, it's been a good 10 years since I went to school full-time, and this whole thing has been super intimidating and exciting all at once.  I got back to the house, and I was a nervous train wreck getting myself ready for my first day back to school.  So, I sat down and carved a stamp with a back to school theme.  Not sure what I'll do with it yet - maybe it would make a good hitchhiker?

This morning's classes were good - other than being the oldest student in the government class by a good 10 years (I was quite relieved to see several other older students in my English class!).  Called the hubby after class to let him know how things were going, and he let me know that I had a package waiting for me.  Very relieved I was - thinking it was the last textbook I need for this afternoon's class.  But it wasn't.  It was something a thousand times better...

My package from Stampeaz came!  I have 7 whole sheets of brand new never touched carving material!  I can just see myself now - every time the homework assignments get overwhelming, I'll swivel my chair around to the craft table and carve a stamp.  Which I won't have anything planned for, but that's just fine.

Maybe I could get into LTCs.... hmmm....
I can hear my husband crying at all of my craft purchases now.
