Dear Readers,

Today is the first day of school. I love this day more than Christmas. I love this day more than Thanksgiving. I love it more than pecan pie, and that’s saying something.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my kids. I love having them around. But at some point, it’s time for them to go so I can feel like I miss them.

Today, my oldest enters seventh grade. My youngest is fifth grade. I’m glad I had them two years apart instead of three otherwise next year I’d have to deal with two kids in new schools.

I don’t have much to say today, but I did want to express how wonderful it is to have a quiet house, hours of time to actually write and do All the Things I didn’t have time for during the summer.

And speaking of writing, I should take advantage of this opportunity.

Happy School Year!
