Goodbye Summer!

Photobucket



Start off the day with a healthy breakfast.

Get pumped up for a new year to the beat of Axel F (If you're my age, you totally know the song! Don't deny it. And don't ask why it's on my iPod)

Head out to the bus. That's not it in the background - that's MY bus!

Time to go! And maybe shed a tear. Or not.

Go home with those left behind.

Get out the fancy dishes.

Not because I'm fancy, but because my normal dishes look like this.

Make some coffee and enjoy leftover cinnamon rolls, baked french toast and scrambled eggs with my kids' friends moms. None of which are happy that it was the first day of school. But we still managed to laugh and have some fun.



Play some games without following the rules.

Take a Nap.

Make First Day of School Cookies. My kids are going to have food issues for sure.

Wait for the kids to come home, eat cookies and talk about their day.

Finally do homework. I mean me: writing checks, signing papers and so on.

And just like that, summer is gone.
