We all have the day off today. Really Mike is the only one this is working for because I have no real job and the kids haven’t even started school yet. But is FEELS like a real day off. A day I can allow myself to spend the morning on the computer and let the kids have the run of the house without worrying about schedules or chores or all the other odd things I worry about. I scheduled a massage for my hard working hubby and we are BBQing for lunch. Very LOW key day. I love it.
Our kids are back to school tomorrow. Ava is starting Kindergarten. We have these cute little books about Kindergarten I have been reading to her at night. I can barely get through them without a catch in my throat. I don’t think that is a good sign of things to come at the Kinder Gate tomorrow morning.
I am excited to get back into the swing of things. I like the schedule school brings our family. But I am nervous about having 4 kids in school. I am getting minor heart palpatations at the thought of keeping it all in order the way I like it. That’s one hard thing about me, I can get a little nutty about ORDER. But with 5 kids you really can’t blame me.
Hope your Labor Day is not a real LABOR day and you get to kick back and love the ones you are with. Tomorrow I will be a new woman! I’ll let you know how it goes! And I’ll post a picture of our precious puppy too!

You did good babe! I’m proud of you – enough tears to wet the face but no guffahs or sobs or slobbering or anything, very well kept together. And now – we have yet another off in school. Thanks for all you do to keep the machine running!!!!
