Back to School

Today most of us had to go back to school. JAD had today off (lucky dog), but the other four kids and I all had to head back. It was BRUTAL getting up at 5 am this morning. I had the luxury of sleeping in until 8 or later just about every day during spring break. That's the nice thing about your kids getting older - even if the little ones wake up early, they know to leave mom/dad alone and go watch tv or play a game. It's a beautiful thing. The kids were not overly happy about having to be up before 6:30, either. MED cried almost hysterically about having to get up at dark o'thirty. Let me just say it wasn't a pretty scene getting her up and moving. Somehow, I have a feeling that tomorrow morning may prove to be a little more difficult. Day two always seems to be that way and waking up a teenager before the early hour of 10:30 will be a challenge. Hope your week is starting off better than ours! Only 35 more school days left...
