Back to School Blues

Well, my classroom is mostly ready and now I have met most all of my new Kindergarten parents...all that's left now is to meet the kiddos and get started! I am sad to see summer come to an end, but also very ready to get back to a normal schedule. I feel very unproductive and that I get virtually nothing done during the summer months. My to do list which was a mile long, has barely been crossed off, but what can you do? Oh well...

Things are getting crazier around here and I've been gone more, and someone is starting to notice...Hey Mom, why are you so busy on your computer with school work...Are you done yet?

Mr. Oliver is seeming to want lots more attention as the school days draw nearer...I always feel a little pang on my heart when I have to go back, leaving them all day. It is so nice to be home most of the day during the summer months with them, they love having someone to follow around and get special treats from (ie: strawberries from breakfast, apple slices from lunch, PBJ crusts, and salad leaves from dinner). I feel so much better now that they are able to go from the garage to the backyard all day long...they have the sweet life, but I will miss being with my buddies all day when Monday rolls around.
