SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION

Another school year is upon us.  Last Wednesday my kids headed back to school as second and fifth graders.  Where does the time go?  Really?  This is the second year of me being back in the cafeteria.  I do like the job and am thankful to have found something that works out well.  I am at work for only three hours while they are in school and I'm home when they are home.  It's nice.  I love interacting with all the other kids and the job itself really isn't all that stressful.  I really like the people I work with and do my best to ignore the gossipy chatter that's usually there.  The paycheck really helps us too. 

We are at the end of the second week back and this was the first full week.  172 more days to go.  Whew.  My daughter seems to love second grade so far and she has a really sweet teacher.  Her teacher called her on her birthday a few weeks ago and I thought that was just so nice.  My son is in fifth grade and he seems to like it too.  He doesn't really say much about school.  I see them during lunch but don't get a chance to talk to them. 

I'm glad that the kids enjoy school.  I have considered homeschooling them so many times and maybe that's a possibility during the high school years but for now we all seem to be happy with where things are at. 

Enjoy the year, kids.  Mommy is so proud of you!
