First Day of School.

Or could also be titled...

I detest this day.

10th Grade 

Vintage High School

4th Grade

El Centro Elementary

I really do not like the first day of school.

It just reminds me of how fast time is going by.

I want longer summers.

I want my children to stop getting so old.

I hate busy mornings.

I'm not opposed to getting up and starting my day early

but I hate that rushed feeling of having to be out the door 

and going a million different directions by 7:45 am.

Oh and I HATE homework.

Kaia left without even a kiss good-bye.

She's the kind of girl that will leave for college in a couple of years

and not look back. We've raised a very independent girl.

Blake was excited for school.

He got the teacher that he wanted and is so

looking forward to all the fun things that 4th grade means.

Like outdoor education at one of our favorite camping spots.

But this morning he crumbled when we got on campus.

He made me so proud though because he stayed respectful to each adult.

He kept control of his emotions.

And when I peaked back into his classroom and hour later

he was sitting at his desk, smiling and working.

We are all hoping for a great year for him this year.

He is hoping for it too!

So I sit today.

All by myself on this first day of school.

The babies are at daycare and I have a ton of work to get done.

Here's to making today count on my second least favorite day of the year!
