That’s right.  The kids started back to school this morning.  For Miss R it was accompanied by tears, worry, last minute concerns over being able to move from classroom to classroom, being the only one in all of middle school who might get confused, being on time…   For P it was business as usual, a good night’s sleep, a little SpongeBob, dancing all the way to the school bus, no biggy.

For me?  I woke up at 4:40 and couldn’t get back to sleep.  I was worried for Miss R.  I was worried I wouldn’t wake up on time.  I was worried P and I would be late for the bus.

And now?  I’ve got to decide between doing housework, painting, sewing, surfing the Internet or going for a walk because it is a beautiful sunny day!  I think I’ll start with the walk, squeeze in an hour of housework then go outside and finish painting this guy –>
