Summer has officially ended around here. School started today. Z and I loaded the bus for first grade...all day! Man, where did the summer go? Last year I was SO ready for school to start. Ready for some order and routine. But I'm not feeling it this year like I did last year. We have had a great summer. A really great summer. And to be quite honest, I am sad to see it go.
But routine and schedules are always good for me. So, today I welcome the return to structure, the return to homework and making lunches. I even welcome getting up at 5:30 a.m. I welcome all the learning that will happen this year, more reading, fractions, addition and subtraction and the brownies that will be eaten immediately after getting off the afternoon bus.
I'm sending a nice stiff cup of coffee (or tea) to all you mamas who are getting back into routine with me. Have a great day everyone!
