Every August when we begin the task of getting ready to head back to the classroom, I find myself asking where summer went? This year is no exception, so I ask myself, "Where did summer go?". Haili is in the 8th grade this year and Emma started 5th grade. I only have two in public school right now, however I'm not happy about school seeming to start earlier and earlier every year!
Now that we're into week two of school, the anticipation has worn off. The shiny new shoes and school clothes have been tossed in the laundry basket. All those fresh new school supplies are already showing their signs of use.
I have to admit that I forgot twice last week to wake Emma up for school. I just went about my summer routine without even a thought of school. Seriously, it's pretty bad when your kids are late for school twice and miss 1 day altogether in the first week! That's in a 4 day school week as well...he, he! What's even worse, is when you are trying to cram a few more summertime activities into these last precious weeks of summer-like weather and half your plans include pulling your kids out of school for the day.
Sorry ASD, I don't agree with starting school before Labor Day, so I'm gonna make the most of the precious summer before it's gone and you may or may not see much of my kids this week:-)
