Back to School

My kids go back to school on Monday. And while it will be nice to have the house to myself a little more, experience has taught me that the honeymoon period won't last long. A few short days after school starts, it will begin. The homework. The projects. The list of things to buy.

We went out today to look for some last minute back-to-school items, little stuff like notebook paper, socks. This year, however, my kids have been working all summer. So they didn't mind contributing to the cause. And I so appreciate it. This has always been one of the most expensive times of year.

Hopefully the transition back to school will go smoothly this year. No student/teacher personality conflicts. No messed up schedules. No $1,000 calculators to buy. Wish us luck. Monday morning is just around the corner.
