The First Day of School! :o)/:o(

I can’t say that I was very happy about starting school this year.  I loved being home with my kids this summer.  I loved not having such a rigid schedule.  I loved cleaning my house and doing laundry whenever I wanted.  I cried for the first week, but we have all adjusted and so far so good.
