So we're going to ease into a normal school-type schedule, because if they sleep late I start late and then we won't end up learning much at all. I know me. Today we started at noon, tomorrow we'll start our day no later than 11, Wednesday and Thursday with their dad (I think...?), and by next week we'll be starting at 9ish, meaning that the week after that we'll be up and having breakfast by 8. Hopefully earlier, so they can say goodbye to their mom in the morning. Just not too early.

I told her that I will buy one more, and if I'm not satisfied that they disappeared organically - that is, due to falling apart with old age, that sort of thing - I'll bill her for them. Those things are super pricey if you run through them like she does.
