We're not ready for summer to end!!!
But alas, despite our best efforts at all-out denial and a nearly total lack of preparation, school started this week. But fret not! Heading back to school was not all bad news..... O got the teacher he has been hoping for since Camp Invention '08!
And his Ghostbusters t-shirt was clean so he could wear it on the first day of school!
And we got to walk to school with his BFF Katie.
After I dried my back-to-school tears, I met friends for breakfast, read a good book, puttered, and generally enjoyed a nice relaxing day in my way-too-quiet house. Before I knew it, it was 3:30. And as I met O on his way home from school, it was all smiling faces, all "I love my teacher", and all "you'll-never-believe-how-great-this-is"... 
And just like that we were back in the swing of things.

ummm, sue, why doesn't my back to school story sound ANYTHING like yours? so good. so positive. henry has said both days of school have been the worst of his life. he really hates waking up. i concur
Screeching halt describes it perfectly! It's here already? How can that be?! It's requiring a lot of mental shifting to go into School Mode again!
