I've heard from many of my friends that they feel a little sad when all their kids go back to school. I feel like a terrible Mom. I don't feel one bit sad about sending the four older kids back to school today. It was a RELIEF! I can have the house cleaned up for a couple hours during the day. I can walk downtown with Sammy to do errands without worrying if my kids a beating on each other at home while I am gone. I can play guitar hero without someone asking if they can play the next song. AND I don't have to listen to them bickering and complaining for a few hours each day. Don't get me wrong. I love my kids. I looked forward to summer break as much as I looked forward to school starting. Change is good for me. I just am so relieved they went back to school today!
Gabby got Mrs. Briggs for 2nd grade.
I really like the teachers the younger kids got in elementary school. Kids in three schools this year. It's going to be busy. I'm on the PTA or PTSA board for two of the schools. So, a little breather this week before I take the plunge back into my busy life. I think I hear Kneaders calling me . . .

Kelly, I had no idea someone else could be as honest as me. I feel the same way today I actually have a second to check out your blog thanks to Wendy's link! I am also happy that Jacob is in Gabby's class (I now know). I hope you get a nap!
Awww- I love Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Briggs! So glad your kids got them!
I wish kneaders were calling me. Well I think that Nathan and Gabby are going to have a great time. (but I don't know about Carson and Seth.) JK :)
I had to do a double take when you mentioned Mrs. Briggs...doh! I forgot she was getting married this summer. I agree with you 100%about the feelings of back to school. I love it--now if it weren't for that blasted 'early-day-out' thing, I might have gotten my house cleaned for a few hours too. Ah well. Today is the day from that, maybe.
