It is time to start the school year again. The smell of books, paper, new pencils, and all the supplies that you need to start school. Along with it brings a feeling of happiness but also dread. I know there is a lot of work involved, but I also know it brings order to our lives. An order that all of us are longing for.
You know what I mean? Knowing that each morning, no matter what, you get up and do certain chore/subjects. Know that each afternoon you have certain activities to conquer. But most of all there is an order to our day. At this time we go to CBS, at this time we have math, and at this time we are done for the day. It brings a wave of peace to my mind.
For this year Jacob will be starting is junior year in high school and prepping for college. SCARY!!!! Grace is in 10th grade. And Mike jr. is in his last year of middle school. Some sad moments for mom. My kids are growing up. I am trying to look at the positive of the situation.
We are going to be having a exciting year. Jacob and Grace will be working through Chemistry, which I barely passed in high school. Mike will be joining a new Lego robotics group for the last time. Next year Mike will have to move on the a robotics team. And all will continue to grow in so many other ways it is mind boggling.
For now, I am going to enjoy the new smells, the new books, the new supplies, and the peace of knowing our schedule. I will deal with all the other stuff after my 10th cup of coffee.
