Since I began staying home a few years ago, I have REALLY looked forward to school starting so I could have some "me" time during the day and stick to a cleaning/home-making schedule without constant interruptions. But I've had so much fun this summer with the kids, and I've sooooo enjoyed waking up around 7:30, that I have to admit I am actually dreading Wednesday.
I'm just not ready to feel the clock ticking while I'm still in bed. I'm not ready for the after-school routines, the busy schedule, and frankly I'm going to miss them.
But, the flip side of the "school" coin is that I will once again have many more hours to keep the house up, run errands (without the whining!), and have "me" time.
Wednesday (their first day of school) I'm really looking forward to going grocery shopping sans kids. I make myself some tea or coffee in a mug, drive to the store, and listen to praise music on my MP3 player as I shop. That's my way of making an unpleasant chore as pleasant as possible. I think that's the first thing I'll do after I drop the kids off. That way there won't be time to feel lonely, lol!
