It's Back 2 School This Week

It's back to school this week. I went back to work today. Who knew that 5:30am even still existed? The kids head back to school tomorrow. At least for tonight, all 3 kids say they want to get back to school. I think they all miss their friends. They also have had a maximum amount of sibling togetherness over the past couple of weeks. I wasn't necessarily glad to get up early and get back, but I am really grateful for such a wonderful break. We had great holidays with lots of fun family time.

I am ready to experience 2009. I am trying to get myself psyched up for a good year. Positive thoughts all the way!!!

I talked to the kids about me going back to college in the evenings and asked all of them to be thinking of some good advice for me being a student again after being away for so long. I wanted to share their responses.
