Getting ready for school

So the countdown begins! In four more sleeps my kids go back to school! Of course they all are like: "we don't want to go to school!" I guess it's "cool" to not like school when you are in Junior/Senior High! LOL! I'm excited for them to go back...sure selfishly I will enjoy the break of driving them here there and everywhere...but I also enjoy the back to routine. I have some friends who's kids are starting school for the first time - the kids are loving it, the mommies are still teary. I have found my self reminiscing (sp?) somewhat of those days...and now my youngest are entering into Junior High! No more elementary school for us! That is somewhat strange, yet really great all at the same time! No more band concerts, no more field trips, no more room mommy...we are entering into a new phase as parents...a house full of teenagers - yikes! It is weird to think that in 2 school years our oldest will be graduating from college and our next one will be entering college...2 years is not that far away, especially when I think about all that has happened in my life in 10 years...life truly does fly by. Mmmmm...I think i'll go hug my kiddos!

well, until later then...Lynnie
