We've begun our back-to-school wake up time training. We start with 8:30 (today) and work our way until we are comfortable getting up at 7:30 (I'm not sure comfortable is the right word there!). It was more difficult this morning than I thought it would be, but I did take a Benadryl last night so I'm blaming it on that. Two of the kids were already awake at 8:30 this morning, but HT (of course!) had to be awakened. He was okay with it, so I guess we are off to a decent start.
My husband had to go back to school today. He'll have students tomorrow, today is just a work day. I am very much missing him today. I told him last night that I feel very melancholy about this summer coming to an end, more so than I've felt most years. I think it's because our summer felt so crazy...we didn't really have any just "hang out" days. It seemed as though we always had something to do. I'm hoping we can still get in some board games over the next two weeks. I think it also has to do with the ages of my kids. JC is going to hit double digits in the next couple of months, and this time next year I'll almost have a teenager. I just don't feel ready for them to be growing up. Time has gone way too fast! But ready or not, growing up they are!
