The morning started with the cat biting me when he decided to wake the girls up early. Something that is certainly not welcome. Then waking the girls at 7 a.m. was not pleasant. Daughter #2 got saucy with her Dad and had to be reprimanded and I had to make lunches. This is never a good thing. I hate making lunches. With the school dictating our year, we find that celebrating New Year's on Jan 1st with the rest of the world does not fire us up. We are more likely to have a celebration at the end of June than we are at the end of January. Our year begins in September, the Tuesday after Labour Day weekend. Our most wonderful vacation is summer vacation when we can give up the misery of waking early and making lunches and can fully particpate in life. We also enjoy spring break. Christmas is just a much needed rest after a fall of exhausting work, colds and stomach ailments, report cards, homework, and those dreaded lunches.... still it is a break and I for one am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
So to all the teachers out there wo are heading back to school and to the kids who are their children and especially to the Mom's of those kids, the wives of those husbands..... we salute you! Just remember there are only 112 days of school left. Yeah!
