I'm pretty sure it is time for school to begin

While I lament the loss of our carefree time, and I literally almost dread the scheduled craziness of the fall season, it is most certainly time for my children to go back to school.  Gone are the days when we played fun board games together as a family and enjoyed our days together.  Now these children find anything and everything to argue about.  My husband has always said teenagers are a different species and I couldn't agree more.  Don't get me wrong, I love them and we have had a lot of fun together.  At the same time, recognizing that I am going to have over eight hours a day to myself is VERY appealing right now!
