I can’t believe school is about to start
I just can’t believe it. On Wednesday, the kids are going back to school. Summer break is officially over.
Instead of hanging out at home or friends, and instead of us trying to figure out what they’re doing during the day, it will be ferrying too and from school and school events … and the dreaded homework.
And then there’s the morning routine. Tuesday morning - the last day of summer vacation - will be drastically different than Wednesday. Because Katie will be between jobs on Monday and Tuesday, I will be leaving for work both days sans baby. I’ll be leaving and they will still be in bed.
But on Wednesday, we’ll be leaving about the same time. We’ll have to wake them in the morning and make sure they have their (grr) uniforms and backpacks. And while I’ll have to leave a few minutes earlier to get to work on time, they will be right behind me out the door.
I wonder if they’re excited or dreading it. I wonder if they got all of their summer reading done.
