Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our last Friday of the summer. It is one of only 3 days left where we can sleep until our bodies (or our three-year old) wake us. Of course DH's alarm always wakes me up, but don't think I jump up and start my day on days I can enjoy a little more sleep!

Tomorrow is a reminder that the end of summer is here. Another year is beginning.

Our children are growing older.

They are one grade closer to leaving the nest.

The end of summer always brings a mix of emotions for me. A few weeks ago, I had thoughts of wishing school would start as the children were begging for more routine. They are ready for their teachers and to learn more and to be challenged.

Somehow, I always find myself not quite ready to let them go at this time of year.

What happened to the carefree days of having all of my babies home and no school schedule to rule our days? Those days are long gone. Even the Hurricane will attend some preschool.

We now have three THIRD graders and a first grader. I can't believe it. Does the beginning of the school year evoke emotions in you or are you just relieved to send the little monkeys out the door? I am off to prepare to enjoy our last Friday of the summer!
