I'm Off To Work...

Here it is the first day of school. I can tell you this for sure...the first day of school to someone who works at one is a WHOLE different thing than the first day of school for a mom sending her kids out to it. I have so many memories of those 'first' days. I had children going off for their first day for 31 years. From Eric's first day in 1975 until Kylie's last first day in 2006. I wouldn't trade those years for anything. They went by too quickly. I do still think it was great that there was somewhere you, by law, had to send your kids after a summer off. I had a fun weekend and saw lots of friends. It was a nice dinner on Sat. to send my friend from high school, Pat, off to Dubai. She'll be teaching at an all girls school there for the next 3 years. She loves that kind of stuff, so I'm sure she will have a great time. I've still got to paste my face on so I'm going to dash off. Thanks to all my kids that made the trek out to Red Rock for dinner yesterday. I had a great time. I think the highlight was Nick and Jake having batting practice with a bunch of big caterlillars they pulled off my plants. Good times... ILMF
