Twas the Night before School Started

A friend shared this poem on Facebook! Too cute not to share. Enjoy parents!

Twas the night before school started,
When all through the town,
The parents were cheering...
It was a riotous sound!
By 8, kids were washed and tucked into bed...
Where memories of homework filled them with dread!
New pencils, new folders, new notebooks too!
New teachers, new friends...
Their anxiety grew!
The parents just giggled when they learned of this fright-and shouted upstairs:
Go To Bed! It's A School Night!!
Have fun kids!!!!!! Enjoy PARENTS!!!!!!

School Daze

My kids are back in school. Actually they started at the end of July because they go to a year around school. We only had 6 week off for summer vacation, and boy did that go FAST!!! As a former teacher, I was used to the 2 months off - and I loved that when I was a teacher. But now that I have to keep a 6 & 7 year old busy during the hot summer days the 6 weeks off is pretty sweet. :)
It is funny when my little guys are back in school and there are so many kids in the grocery store and just around town. At first I think that there CAN'T be this many kids homeschooled!!! It takes a minute to remember that we are the ones with the mixed up schedule!
Hope everyone is having a great September, and enjoy the time when the kids are in school. Also remember to enjoy the kids when they get home from school, the time slips away to fast!!!
