Back to School

Well, many people are getting ready to send off their little ones to school, homeschool or may be getting ready to attend school themselves. I remember as a kid we started school after Labor Day each year... none of that start on Wednesday before Labor Day and then have 3 days off, such a weird idea. This is my first year not having to drive a child or pick up a child from school, it's going to be a year of adjustments. I just dropped my baby off at college on the opposite coast from us... such a far distance, yet only a plane ride away. I still have my older daughter living at home while attending a local college, but, in true college fashion we rarely have sightings of her for longer than a meal, a quick run through the house to change clothes or when it's time to sleep. When we do have a sighting, it's usually with her cell phone attached to her ear or she's studying... long gone are those "Mommy, I'm bored, play with me!" days.

You think when they are babies and you are tired and cranky, it'll be so much easier when they are older... let me tell you, it's so easy to deal with that baby... they want to make you happy, they love to see you when you walk into a room and no matter what you do, it's amazing to them. So if you still have little ones in the house, give them a hug and savor the time you have with them, it's precious and it's over so quickly!
