August Mourn

I have a friend that loves Neil Diamond. Every day for the month of September, she plays his song September Morn while her kids get ready for school. Well, tomorrow is the first day of school,but wait...it's not September. Now, some of you may say "My kids started last week. " To that I say that would be fine if we got out the beginning of June.
But, we didn't.

It was June 28

11:50am, to be exact.

And, to global warming I say : Where were you this summer? I really needed you in those rainy months. The dog days of summer never came. I never got tired of the heat, never yearned for the feel of a Fall sweater, never really thought "when does school start 'cause (fill in son's name here), you're driving me crazy".

And that is why tomorrow I will mourn.

Bye boys. It was fun while it lasted!

I don't know what to say...I feel depressed for you! Everything will be alright. If you want, you could pull the boys out of school for a week or two and come visit us! The dog days of summer restart here Wednesday. See you soon! (PS- I'm so excited!)

I'm in mourning too:( Not only does Morgan go to Junior High school, but I lose my little Katelyn to Kindergarten on Wednesday. For many years I looked forward to this day - but now I want to roll back the clock. By the way, you're supposed to plan a trip down here too!
