Summer's almost over, and I am bummed.  i like the laid back schedule of summer - no early mornings, no packing school lunches, no homework, more free time, so it is always hard for me to send the kids back.  But, more than anything, this summer flew by, and while we had lots of fun and enjoyed our family immensely, there were a lot of things that I wanted to do that did not get done (including blogging!!!).  I will send three of my four kids off to school.  That is one more than last year - David will enter kindergarten, so I will have only Sarah home in the mornings.  I am looking forward to that time with her, but I will miss the boys.  I tried home schooling one year because of how much transition was going on in our lives, and I know that at this point that is not what I am supposed to be doing, but sometimes I wish it was.  I love having them home.  Some people might think I am crazy, and certainly there are times when I want to send them all away, but most of the time having them around is wonderful!  So I am feeling some end of summer blues!  I'm sure once we get into the swing of things, it will be great - I will have to let you know in a couple weeks!
