Remember the old commercial of the guy at Staples riding his cart through the aisle while singing "it's the most wonderful time of the year" gathering up school supplies? That was hilarious and boy can I relate. Check it out.... Summer seemed extremely long for me this year since we didn't take a family vacation and the kids went back 2 weeks later than last year. I didn't realize how chaotic it had gotten until this week when things were so much calmer and scheduled. Angie and I actually went to bed after the kids, which was weird. We've even had sit down dinners together. Last night I watched Brianna help Bryson and her boyfriend, Zach with Algebra and Physics. I thought about my high school years and how I never did homework, much less offered to help anybody else! But it is nice having kids back in school where their minds shift from the pool, video games and spending my money to sports and academics. We have great kids and I'm so proud of each of them.
So today is Friday and you can tell it's been a long week. Everyone is tired from the new schedule and tempers are short. Tonight we hit the road with our Spartans and play West Stanley. We will dominate and then enjoy a long, restful Labor Day weekend. Take time off to relax and celebrate the new season!
