School is Starting

I have never waited so long for school to start. I remember as a child I was happy when school started but I always felt like I could use an extra few weeks of summer. As of today the boys only have 4 more sleeps until school starts. I am counting down the days til my freedom begins. This summer has been especially stressful for our family. Moving across the country and having dad leave 3 weeks later really knocked the boys out of wack. I know that they are just as excited to start school as I am. All 4 of them will be gone all day!!!! Mia will start a preschool program Monday and Friday mornings. So at least 2 mornings a week I will be completley free. She cried when we went to visit the preschool. She wanted to stay and play. So told me bye,mama and walked away. She was so sad when she realized that we were there only for orientation not to stay. I guess she is ready to have some time away from mom.
If on the first day of school I have tears in my eyes it is not from saddness. It is pure joy that I will actually be able to go to the grocery store and not have to hear "can I have this" and I will be able to take a shower and not be interrupted. The thing I am most looking forward too I think is actually drinking my coffee while it is hot. I have heard that people do that.
