BACK TO SCHOOL

     Where the heck does the time go? I swear, I only blinked and suddenly my youngest is in 2nd grade and my firstborn is in 7th grade! Both kiddies were SO excited to be going back to school today. Me? Not so much. I miss them terribly already. Luckily, today and tomorrow are only half days of school. Some of my hopes for this year?

   
      For my son, this year, I hope for a better and less complicated school year. I hope that the beyond frustrating bully issue is finally behind us. I hope that he finds himself, and is comfortable in his own skin, NO MATTER WHAT anyone else says. I hope that he is able to find some friends that he can relate to and that will be there for him. I hope that he continues to excel academically and keeps that awesome brain of his sharp and focused.

   





       For my daughter, this year, I hope that she will continue to blossom socially, as I never did. That she continues to make friends and has an easy time being herself and that she never has to deal with bully issues like her big brother and myself had to deal with. That she keeps her brain sharp and focused, as well, and that she continues to excel academically. I hope that her love of reading continues to grow.
