Ignoring the first impressions of yesterday, I figured the second day ought to give me a better idea of how things are going for the girls at their new school. I'm glad to report that there are no red flags thus far. Though Shelby wanted me to stay longer with her this morning than I did.
The girls had homework even yesterday, but so far that's going okay as well. What I find cool is that this school gives out all homework for the week on Monday, and you work it at your own pace. If you get it done early, fine, or if you just do that night's work, that's fine, too. That's going to be very helpful for Shelby, who doesn't do well in high pressure environments.
Since I stayed with the girls until class started yesterday, and since we went out after school for Shelby's birthday, today was also the first full test of traffic along all of my school/work travel routes during the times of day I'll be there. And it's all a very close call. As I have to do some back tracking to get from the school to work, I see the nasty traffic I'd be in on the way to school if I were just another ten minutes behind. So, I CAN'T run late AT ALL this year (if that's possible). Also, leaving school at the end of the day, I have to take a REALLY round about way home in order to avoid what has to be the worst Oklahoma traffic anywhere, the mass evac from the state capitol complex at 5pm. I don't ever want to end up in that stuff. And, really, I'm not sure why others continue to put up with it.
