I remember not sleeping the night before, crying the morning of, and the knot in my stomach that lasted until the first class was underway. And that was all the way through college. I never could accept that it would be ok and that there was plenty of enjoyment ahead. I guess I'm just such a summer bunny that school always felt like doom. Maybe its my mom's fault for not having warm cookies waiting for me? I'll have to yell at her for that next time I see her!! :)Mikey Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993963255516432183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-11964149861050961992008-09-24T08:51:00.000-04:002008-09-24T08:51:00.000-04:00Warm cookies & milk make a great time for talk...Warm cookies & milk make a great time for talking.

So... there are twenty-five first day of school shots... starting with my brother, then adding my sister, then ending with me. The funniest part of the whole mini-drama is the blur that is our father, a teacher for more than forty years. He is always a blur in tie and sweater, holding a clipboard and a hundred pencils or pens. Later on, I found out that he never slept the night before the first day of school, always too excited and nervous about the day to come, I guess! I wonder if other people's mothers (OPM) also took their picture of the first day of school?Kellyann Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885203487094654761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-64451509134101173592008-09-22T21:25:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:25:00.000-04:00Well clearly I'm the Grinch because I was spending...Well clearly I'm the Grinch because I was spending a fair amount of time in Staples a couple of weeks ago and OMIGOD... it was painful! *sigh* These people with their ENORMOUS lists of things just to send a kid to elementary school.
