E.B. did fantastic on his first day of school yesterday. He ran to his classroom as soon as we arrived (can we say Eager Beaver?) and I had to interrupt him from playing (just like last year) to get my hug and kiss goodbye. I would have hated to leave him without doing the goodbye ritual because, clearly, he was beside himself with anxiety.

When I picked him up that afternoon he made it to the car and was sound asleep before we got out of the school parking lot, I kid you not. He was exhausted.

But the best part of the whole day? His uniform shorts that were actually not on backwards! Score!

After tucking E.B. into bed tonight and double checking his supplies for his first day of school tomorrow, I suddenly thought of the coolest school supply ever made, at least back when I was in elementary school in the 80’s.

I distinctly remember owning two Trapper Keepers in my life. One had kittens on it and one sported a hot pink and white geometric pattern. I’m pretty sure this was the one school supply that also crossed over into a fashion statement of sorts (at least until those darned backpacks became so popular), because how cool were you walking down the hallway with one of these tucked under your arm (guys) or hugged close to your chest (girls)?

I think I can safely sum up my move from Blogger to WordPress with these words…WordPress gave me a serious case of the dumbs. I’ve spent the better part of this past weekend in a panic because once my blog was moved I quickly figured out that WordPress was not the way I wanted to continue blogging. If I had started out at WordPress perhaps I would feel very differently and I still think design-wise that you can’t beat a WordPress layout (unless you have a really cool Blogger one like a few I have seen), but it just wasn’t for me. The end.

The really fun part was trying to get my server to point back to the Blogger blog. If you ever try what I did and decide you aren’t happy, I can definitely help you get your domain pointing back to your Blogger blog. I think I’ve got a few strands of hair left and only a few bruises from beating my head against the wall.

I’m kidding. A little.

It’s just really good to be home. Blogs should not cause that much trauma/drama. Ever. Lesson learned.

And Blogger? You complete me. I’ll never cheat on you again, pinky swear.
