I often hear parents say they are so glad that break is over so that the kids will be back in school. Not me. I always feel blessed to have my son home, even if it does mean shouting over the top of Rock Band, buying more milk, surrendering my computer time, washing more clothes. Because one day, he will not live here anymore. One day, he'll be padding down another hallway, chatting on another phone, eating a lunch that I didn't pack.

Time
It was one of those weird weekends where nothing really sounded fun to me. I realized I had spent most of it in one room watching tv while my son and husband were in the other. My son came out 6-ish Sun eve and said "I'm so bored." That definitely hit home with me! We decided to go to the used bookstore and browse. We didn't find anything great to purchase, but we enjoyed spending time together. My weekend was brightened then and there.

Quote of the Day
You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back.

School's Out
Today my Grandma was telling me how when my uncle was little, he'd cry about having to go to school. Then, at lunch time, he'd walk home and tell her that "school was out for the day." Grandma would call the principal and he would laugh and say to send him back. My uncle went on to become...a teacher. :)
