It Begins...


School starts tomorrow in our part of the world. I remember when I was in school it didn't start until after Labor Day. Times change. Don't know why really. Start in September, end in May. Out for summer vacation June, July and August. A full three months. Kids have to be at school by 6 or 6:30am if they participate in most functions like band or sports etc. Get home, if they ride the bus, around 4pm or later if in sports, 7 or 8pm. Homework? Plenty. When does it get done? Late...Sleep? 10, 11pm? Start all over early am...ridiculous.....no wonder the kids are burning out. Lots of adults don't have a schedule like that.It was a real do nothing day here today. Took Will to the store and ended up buying him a Game Cube disk. Star Wars. Loves it. Bad Gamma. Hubby smoked Cornish hens, with rice and tomatoes. Good. Well y'all have a good Monday and I'll check back in then.
