School starts for good on Monday -- the big kids started last week, but for some reason that didn't seem as "real" to me as the beginning of the elementary school year.
It's silly.
I know that I'm supposed to be happy that the kids are out of the house and life can return to schedules and routine and normalcy.
My Facebook feed is filled with a bunch of posts high-fiving the fact that the kids are returning to school. It's evidently normal to want school to start again.
I don't feel that
way.
I like having the kids home. I really do.
but I don't think I've even been classified as normal, anyway.
;-)
So today we are packing up a picnic and heading to the coast to soak in the last ounce of summer.
I'm probably supposed to tell you that I planned ahead and we are eating homecooked crockpot food lovingly packed in environmentally-friendly recyclable containers.
But that wouldn't be true.
Instead we are headed to Trader Joe's to pick out individual salads, some chips, and some cookies.
;-)
