Summer's over, and school begins! Another year of threats of grounding if homework's not done, grades not as good as I think they should ect.. I have more leverage over my son this year, he's playing football and loving it! By the way how the hell do you read football plays, the book of plays sitting in the livingroom is total greek to me!

This year the diva starts kindergarten. I'm actually terrified of the phone calls I'll be receiving from the school! I'm not sure how she's gonna take not getting to be her bossy normal self! :wah:

Best of luck to you and children starting back to school tomorrow Sheryl:-6 Our summer went by too quickly.

A poem for teachers and parents:-6

WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?

Author Unknown

"Whose child is this?" I asked one day

Seeing a little one out at play

"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile

"Mine to keep a little while

To bathe his hands and comb his hair

To tell him what he is to wear

To prepare him that he may always be good

And each day do the things he should"

"Whose child is this?" I asked again

As the door opened and someone came in

"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile

"Mine, to keep just for a little while

To teach him how to be gentle and kind

To train and direct his dear little mind

To help him live by every rule

And get the best he can from school"

"Whose child is this?" I ask once more

Just as the little one entered the door

"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled

And each took the hand of the little child

"Ours to love and train together

Ours this blessed task forever."

that's okay, not to worry!

great ages, mine were also 4 years apart, and I found they were closer to each other as they're wasn't much jealously.

hope they are doing great in school.

you take care mom!:-4
