Don't get me wrong....I LOVE my children. But I also love my sanity. I'm woman enough to admit that even I need a break sometimes. And what better way to get a break than by sending your child off to get an education?
I admit I was looking forward to school starting...maybe a bit too much. My friend said she was a bit melancholy about her daughter heading back to school. It made me pause for a minute and ponder if I really was ready. I AM. But then I remembered my DRS and wondered what the first day of school would really be like. Would I suddenly be swept with emotions as I took the ceremonial "first day of school" picture? Would I fall to my knees sobbing in the living room at the quiet peace a single child in the house brings?
Nope!
No tears. Just a peaceful smile.

Don't think for a moment I'm not sitting here enjoying my coffee. 9:30 and not one fight. Although about five minutes after M left her sisters were up in here room, and the youngest had climbed onto her desk and proceeded to throw everything off the bookshelves onto the floor. Mind you M had just made that shelf look pristine and perfect just 2 days ago and was SO PROUD of how it looked. She'll be crushed!
Also, when taking the ceremonial first day pic, M sighed dramatically and said "Do we HAVE to do this every time?!?" Yeah, baby, once a year. You poor abused child. ;-)
