The first week of school is a lot of things: exciting, fun, challenging. Most of all, though, I find it exhausting.

Shopping for supplies, organizing paper work, meeting teachers, shopping for even more supplies…draining. I am so stinking tired that I can barely remember what day of the week it is.

But, the kids are happy. They are ready to learn and thrilled to be reunited with friends. I will not complain, especially since the year will go by in a flash and we’ll be facing another endless summer before we know it.

For now, though, I’m going to go fall over somewhere. G’night.
