Wow, I’m still catching my breath from vacation and haven’t fully unpacked when BAM…it’s the first day of school.  And, not just your average going back to school day.  I mean we’re in the big league now,  Middle School.  I had a form to drop off,  so I waited until after the morning rush.  The drive to Middle School passes right by our old elementary school.  Before I knew what hit me I’m getting all teary eyed, sad and sentimental.  Oh brother, how am I going to handle college some day.  This parenting stuff is exhausting and thank the good lord for my hairdresser and hair coloring.  I’ve got lots of wedding stuff to blog, vacation pictures and two weddings this coming weekend.  I’ll get up to speed soon.  Today I’m just trying to catch my breath.  Did I mention that my son is on the travel soccer team now and that we practice three times a week.  Who knows how we’ll ever get homework done.  I think that it’s time to really join the ranks of “Soccer Mom” and get a carpool going so that I can still have a life.
