here we go again...another school year!



The end of another summer is upon us. Drat! Most parents at the back to school picnic were looking forward to the first day of school!! I can't imagine. I like the freedom that comes with summer...go anywhere most anytime. Perhaps I never grew up. Most likely. I even considered becoming a teacher just to keep that school schedule. But, alas I would have to be in the same room with 30 kids that weren't mine. Doesn't sound like too much fun. My sister does it.....my hat is off to her. She also does summer school.... just a glutton for punishment I guess. I do have the utmost respect for teachers. They are heavily overworked and terribly underpaid. And don't get me started on the educational cuts that are taking place in California. GGGGrrrrrrrrrrr. Curses.
Summer was great although too short. We went to Santa Cruz with the boys (the only two kids left at home)Chris & I went to VEGAS!!! Such a blast!! It was our first time there....wow what a place! We did have time to enjoy our pool and home just relaxing. It's been nice.
I have now got a 7th grader and a 4th grader and two kids over 18!!!! One in college (oh did I mention she's not talking to us) and my oldest already working his life away. Where does the time go? Oh and another one of my birthdays has passed.......yippee! Time is just killing us!
First day of school is Monday. The first week will be exciting, then......all bleh! Keep all of you posted who care enough to keep up with my life!
