Rejoice! It’s the First Day of School

I have learned that there are two distinct types of mothers out there.  The ones who rejoice when summer starts, and the ones who rejoice when summer is over.  There may be a smaller third group that rejoice for the first week or so of summer, then anxiously await that first day of school, but generally, you’re either one or the other.  My kids are little so we love school.  We love the routine, we love the consistency, we love the constant entertainment that school provides.  Summer was kind of long and hot and slow and lazy for us, so yippee for school!  Stuart started last week, and Grace had her first day of preschool today.  Elise also started playgroup today, and if I am lucky, I’ll get about 12 hours a month for the next 5 months with NO KIDS AT HOME!  Imagine the possibilities.
