This is another one of those hard “seconds”.  The second year the boys have been at big school and not had their daddy there to hold their hand or calm their anxieties.  The boys  started 1st grade on August 10th.   I decided again to keep them in separate classes, which is harder on me but I think better for my boys and their teachers.  I am told how much faster paced 1st grade is than Kindergarten.  Lord, please grant me the patience to handle this school year and every school year that follows.  With the early wake ups, early bed times, homework, sports, meetings etc. its a lot to have on the shoulders of a sole parent.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12
