It's here, which means summer is just about over :(
-
school has done started back here but this is the first year i dont have any kiddos going to school --it is a hard thing to know my babies are grown up !!
-
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
-
Time goes quick, it is already back to school time. :-\
-
I love this time of the year. I know I will be so happy on the first day of school.
-
Yeah a break from at least one of mine right now anyway. My oldest should be starting college by January. (I hope.)
-
I was thinking about it too. My wife started buying school clothes for my children.
-
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.
-
I'm ready for cooler weather.
-
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.
-
I am so okay with summer being over it has been so hot these past few days i am ready for football season and same fall weather!
-
Oh, no! I love summer!
-
I have no kids so back to school time means I get my quiet back during the day .. LOL
-
Yes that does bite, my kids started school last Wednesday already bummer
-
I am just trying to enjoy the final few days of summer.
-
I don't miss summer too much. I'm in college and it feels like summer all the time

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. :) :) :) :)

I'm sad about going back to school, but I'm glad I'm getting it over with!!
-
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! :(
-
Yes it is back to school time! This i am very excited about because this is my last semester then i will finally recive my Masters!
-
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.
-
I'm not sure where this summer went! It flew by. My daughter is excited to be starting her sophomore year at the high school.
-
It's here, which means summer is just about over :(

-
I love having adult children where they aren't going to school and neither am I. :heart:
-
Can't wait for the cold to kick in been so hot.
-
