Back to School!

You know...two weeks ago when asked if I was ready for the kids to go back to school the answer was an absolute YES!! The girls were ready to go back and see friends, and just to go have something to do. I was ready to have a house that stayed clean for more than 10 minutes, to have an end to the bickering and fighting, and an end to "Mom I'm bored...there isn't anything to do"! Sure enough as school got closer and we went to meet the teacher night the girls were super excited! I, on the other hand, was starting to doubt my surety that I was ready. I was going to miss having them around all day and miss having them make me smile. The night before school Kalli said, "Mom it is just about the time you have always waited for!" When I asked her what she meant she said that all the girls would be in school this year and I was going to have some "seriously good alone time".

So ready or not, the first day of school (for Kalli and Abby at least Emma doesn't start for a few more weeks) came and we were all ready for a new year filled with new friends, new teachers, homework, and fun!!
