My three kids went back to school yesterday and I couldn't be happier. They have stuff to do and friends to see, they are no longer stuck in the same house with nothing to do but stare at one another. They were tired of one another about a week in to summer vacation and I have been sick to death of them being tired of one another ever since.
Growing up, I used to be insulted at the idea that my parents were glad to be rid of me. Now I totally understand and apologize for any grief I may have given them because of it. It's a beautiful thing to arrive home from work with the house in relatively the same condition you left it, I say relatively because they do get home a little before me, but just haven't had the time yet to do their regular all day damage.
Anyway, I'm so happy I think I'll make up my own little 'back to school' dance!!! Again I say, Woo-Hoo!

You're probably worried over nothing. My oldest daughter never had any really messy hobbies like my youngest does,and we got to talk. My baby has two moods: Angry and enraged, and she won't put up with the ramblings of an old man.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm glad they're going back too.
