Back to Taking Neighbor Kids to School- no more sleeping in till 7:30.  We have to now leave the house by 7:25.  This is quite a change from last year's schedule and certainly our summer schedule!  Setting the alarm clock is once again part of my daily routine.

Back to Preschool- The kiddo started her second year of preschool today, the big kid class at that!  I watched her during group time, and wow, she is so much more mature. *sniff*  Will there ever be a first day of school I don't get teary-eyed?  Oh, and as the kids walked in from outdoor play time, the kiddo took the hand of a new girl and showed her the way, sat by her in group time and befriended her like a sweet girl.  Mama was proud!

Back to Work- Monday was my first day back at work.  So, I'm back to ironing work clothes, back to putting on a full face of make up (ugh!), and back to wearing heels (another ugh!).  However, I am enjoying teaching.  I cannot imagine working full time, raising kids, doing the drop off and pick up from child care thing 5 days a week.  I applaud all single parents - you are super people!

Back to Caffeine - Oh yeah.  During the summer I noticed my caffeine intake diminished, but come that first day of getting up before the sun was up, I went right back to the coffee.  God put that little zip in there for a reason :)
