After the Holidays

Back to school today after a week off. Boy it was rough this morning. Nothing like sleeping in each day and going to bed late each evening. I so enjoy the slow-paced, nowhere to be in particular lazy holiday days.

So the alarm shrilled at 7:20 a.m. and Christopher did not move. His first words to me, "I don't want to go to school."

After that groggy comment, he stumbled out of bed, took a shower and was downstairs by 7:40 a.m. My kid learned efficiency from me!

I asked him if he remembered his regular and PE locker combinations. He looked at me as if I had two heads. "Of course," he said. "Who forgets that stuff?" Your mom for one. I remember very clearly forgetting my combination after each holiday . . . even after the three-day weekends.

Only reading homework tonight thankfully. The teachers are probably easing back into the routine as well.

I'm already ready for the Christmas holidays. Three weeks?
