Back to School


It's starting to look an awful like "Back to School" time.

Oh, I have a love/hate relationship with back to school. I LOVE summer vacation. If I had my way, my whole life would be summer vacation. But I know that is not possible. At the same time, I am excited about the new school year. New books. Clean desks. Brand new pencils and erasers. Exciting things to learn.

Wednesday we got our science books delivered. I was so excited, you would have thought it was my birthday. Love the smell and feel of a never before opened book. It wore off last night as I realized that SCHOOL IS STARTING IN A WEEK!

Time is cruel and it keeps marching on to a steady beat. And my ambivalence about the constant forward drumbeat is killing me!

I feel the exact same way. I love all the new books on the shelf and the boy's clean desks and bulletin boards, but eek! school is starting in a week and a half. Where did the time go???

We got most of our books yesterday. They look so pretty on the bookshelf.

We start school on Monday. Summer went by so fast.

Oh, and thank you for helping me out tonight. I really appreciate it.
