BACK to school..... and the angels sing from the heavens... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
New Backpacks and monogramed lunch boxes wait by the front door.... for these 2....
lunch: turkey on either a whole wheat hotdog bun or a whole wheat hamburger bun (since I did not check the bread stash the night before....oops)....a sliced peach, cheetos and chilled waters....(HEALTHY)... freshly painted nails with school color.... blue!... ALL NEW ironed uniforms (will only happen this one day)...NEW shoes....and a CAREFULLY CHOSEN plant for the new teacher....it USUALLY lasts longer than an apple.... the girls are SO excited for today.... READY !.... they LOVE school ..... They go to such a great school. It is the best hidden secret of our area..... the teachers are great .... the principal RULES the school...strict is NOT even close to how tight SHE runs this ship.....but that is good ! and the parents....we are involved.... We are so lucky to be part of this wonderful school family....
I look at these photos and realize they are SO unique ! SO different ! I so support their individuality ! I am so blessed! (big smile here)
and off they go....
How can it be that I am the mother of a 1st grader, a 2nd grader and a 12th grader.... I am so proud of them all ! SO blessed... and SO looking forward to some PEACE and QUIET !....for a few hours a day anyway.... Off to bed... the alarm comes EARLY after such a relaxed summer.....no more sleeping in til 9:30 !

*******FUNNY ! (at least to me..) as I am proofing my post what commercial comes on TV? the Staples commercial....it is a bit "old" but it's the dad gleefully pushing the cart thru the store, loading the cart ever so happily with anything "schooly".... with the song being sung......"it's the most wonderful time of the year...." totally done AFTER I wrote my post....I need to buy a lotto ticket!
