School’s back in ses­sion in our part of town. Which means Grem­lin is already get­ting Think­ing Laps “…just for mak­ing peo­ple laugh”. Inter­pre­ta­tion: Being the class clown has it’s down side. Grem­lin has a hard time keep­ing the oxy­gen level in his sys­tem high enough which makes him sleepy which turns him into a Super Nova in the attempt to fight the heavy eyes.  Mrs. A has her work cut out for her!

Old­man starts 5th grade which means lock­ers and chang­ing classes for sub­jects. He was a wreck the first day but quickly real­ized that time FLIES when you’re hav­ing to switch classes. He hasn’t quite fig­ured out how to make his locker work for him, but he’s get­ting adjusted.

My classes get started back up on Thurs­day and I’ll be one busy lady — 2 online classes and 1 face-to-face! I’m excited though. I’m ready to get going on this.

As busy as we all will be, we’re ready to get back to our rou­tine. As won­der­ful as sum­mer break is, my fam­ily lives and dies by a daily rou­tine. There are not many surprises…the kids know what to expect so it pro­vides a com­fort­able atmos­phere for them. My old­est, Old­man, always comes home from school say­ing, “Ah…doesn’t this place just feel safe.” When he first said it, I was kind of sad for him, but if our house makes him feel that way then…SUCCESS!

I’m proud of my boys and actu­ally a lit­tle proud of myself. I hope we have a great school year and come out on top!
