You are so right.  Back to school is a sign but for some of us its a break from kids allday.

It's a depressing thought since I spent all summer working and did not get to enjoy it

For the first time ever, the thought of children going back to school scares me.  I do no have any children of my own going back but I have a grandson going into first grade.  His pre-school and kindergarten didn't bother me so much, but now after so many school shootings, I worry a lot.  I know the odds are against it being at his school, but I am concerned about all children.  I saw a post on Facebook to pray for those going back to school, and that is what I am doing.

All the schools in my area are back in session now. I still like the idea of year round school with more scattered days off during the year. i think months off during summer just makes learning that much harder when they go back.

My daughter started Kindergarten.  5 days in she got the flu.  Since she had been to 2 years of daycare and 1 year of preK, I would have thought her immune system would have been built up.  Guess NOT.

Summer just flew by! I didn't get a chance to take a vacation and we have to prepare ourselves for the cold weather and the snow, as well as watch out for buses and kid.

It seems like school starts earlier and earlier every year and summers are shorter and shorter!  Is it just me?

School started for my grandkids on Monday.  Our oldest is a Senior this year.  The youngest is in 8th grade.

We are looking forward to volleyball and school plays.

School necessities feel like they're increasing much more than when I remember when I was young. I think adding technology in the mix makes this more so, but I'm frustrated with the current school for my daughter as extra expenses, such as charging for the use of lockers, which I find as absurd.

My son is enjoying his new school. Transferred him from a horrible school. One of the good things I like is that the Principal is at the front of the school everyday before and after to greet the kids and answer quick questions from the parents. He has made 4 friends already. Each day I pick him up he says good day mom. I like this school so far. I am so happy for him. He has also changed his attitude about learning and is happy to do his homework. He helps more around the house and he does not have a tiffy at bed time. Who knew having a positive day of school could change a kids behavior and his outlook on everyday life. I am a happy mom at this moment. Now a couple of months from am I hoping my son will continue his good days at school.  :) :) :) :)

Don't know why but even though i'm no longer going to school, I get this depressed feeling. I guess I have some kind of seasonal depression cuz I always get this way when autume ends. Maybe, it's the time change and September's my birthday and getting older every year is too depressing too! :(

The worst part about school starting is traffic. It seems no one walks to school anymore. I try not to go to stores near schools at 3 ish. No parking.
