Not Ready

I am not ready for school to start.  Don't get me wrong.  I want them out of the house so it will be at least be a little quieter here.  But let's weigh the pros and cons here.  During the summer we can sleep in.  During the school year we have to get up at 7...don't even get me started with early morning seminary.  I have another year before that!  During the school year we have homework and projects...oh the projects!  Last year it seemed we had them coming out our ears.  I wanted to shove the projects down the teachers throats write a letter concerning the work load.  In the summer, we can come and go as we please.

During the school year, there are less fights during the day.  During the school year you always remember the date and the day of the week.  During the school year you can go shopping with less children or if you are lucky enough NONE!  During the school year...this is why I am not ready this year.  I am burnt out on it.  The battles, the tears, the pressures.   But I will do it and savor every weekend as they are usually homework free.  Usually.

So there you have it.  I am not ready for school to start up again.  I am enjoying my break of sorts.  But in 5 days when it starts...we shall see what song I am singing then!
