This week was the kids’ first one back in school. The transition from a rather unscheduled summer to a highly scheduled school year has gone much more seamlessly than I anticipated. For the first time ever, I have mixed feelings about school being in session once again.
Typically I hate it because I love having the kids home and being able to interact with them all day. However, this year, I’m feeling torn because now that I am working out of the house 2-3 times a week, I’m glad that they’re in school so they don’t miss me as much. I’m glad they’re equally occupied, but it’s always difficult to give up that time with them.
Here’s our annual first-day-of-school picture, captured on Tuesday:
What about you? How do you feel about your kids going back to school?
