Back To School Blues



My kids are headed back to school. In just a few more days I'll find myself alongside them, hopeful for the new school year; that this time I'll learn the ways of the world, like, how to play well with others and not run with scissors.

I'm sure I'll fail once again.

My post is up today at Aiming Low, where I share how I feel about my three boys no longer being within an arms' reach of me in the morning while I chug (I've never been a sipper) my coffee.

This one's for you, my babies.

She might have been lying and throwing fabulous keggers while I worked on subtraction in class, but I prefer to think she meant it.

    It says a lot that you and your boys are so close--about you and the people they are ;)
