Six weeks from today school begins. I'm not ready, but I suspect I will be in six weeks. Even this week, there are times I think my family is having too much togetherness. I'm not ready for the rigorous schedule, and I'm not ready for band to begin in just 12 days.
There have been some changes this summer. Of course Robert isn't here. While he is missed, the drama and chaos he brought to our lives is not missed. We also don't have to worry about Andrew's football schedule this summer since he is no longer coaching. The four of us have enjoyed so much family time and made so many amazing memories. I am so grateful for this. And we don't plan to stop yet!
I've been seeing school supplies stocking begin to happen in stores. It's a little different when your kids are in high school, as basically all they need are folders, notebooks, and pencils/pens. This school year will mark the last "first day" I'll get to have with Catherine, and only two more after that with Thomas. It breaks my heart a little to think about it, but I am so grateful for these days, and I plan to be grateful for each day that comes.
