It's the second most stressful day of my year ... the first day of school. Not really for what it is, but what it signifies. It's the 2nd "New Year's Day" - the day when I expect that everything on my to do list will be done and I will have a fresh start. But just like the real deal - it never happens that way. As a matter of fact, just the opposite. So I'm back to my crazy life and nothing has changed for me.
I wish that it was my first day of school, but that I knew everything I know today. Mac started 3rd and Juice is a big Kindergartner! Next year they will both be in the same school and frankly I can't wait. Here they are with great big happy smiles on their first day - they are excited at the new adventures this year will bring and I envy their innocence and giddy excitment.
Juice is the 'poser'. I think he might actually do really well in modeling this year, but he wants to do Tae Kwon Do and basketball.
Mac can't wait to see her best friends - it's been a whole two weeks since they last saw each other after all.
So here's to childhood and their fresh starts. I won't ruin it for them with what real life will be like in 30 years or so!

I too thought after the bus pulled away I'd finally get to 'that pile' and 'that filing' and 'that cleaning'. Yeah, didn't happen. I wasted an entire day, doing nothing...feeling guilty. Guess I missed them already. My kids are loving school. I'm getting to my projects...slowly. Too much to bite off on the first week.
They are darling and healthy and happy kids. Bless them and here's to another year of growing up. k
