Finally the day has arrived that I get to send both my boys off to school (okay well it arrived yesterday, but I'm a busy person!) I have looked forward to this day since they were born-alright not really, but I wasn't choked up about it. I do seem to have this anti-parent attachment thing going on and I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I have two boys that are 13 months apart. Its really okay because my kids have absolutely no desire to chose me over preschool either. My friend Patty says that this is a good thing because I have raised independent people. I'm not really sure about that one, but it does make me feel better about not feeling sad about sending them to school, although I was worried about Matt. I was sure that he would somehow manage to find himself in a situation that would require an embarrassing trip to the school while the teachers shook their heads and wondered how I raised such a wild animal! But he proved me wrong, so far, it has only been two days though. Other then waking up at the butt crack of dawn(even though school is in the afternoon) school has brought two changes in my house my kids no longer spend all day in only their underwear and I see sunlight twice a day. I have decided to leave housework for when the kids are home and spend the 2 1/2 hours of peace doing things like eating lunch, taking a shower and watching an hour of t.v. that doesn't include channels like Noggin, Nick, Sprout, Disney or PBS kids. The power of school. I know realize why parents want year around school, sure they go the same amount of day, but its easier to go through two weeks of vacation then three months. And then I just realized that I am about ready to start over again. Oh dear what was I thinking.
