First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school.  On August 10th. The peak of summer, and my kids were going to school.  I think that should be against the law.  Heck, it didn’t even feel like back to school.  No fall colors.  No leaves on the ground.  Only a temperature of 98 and cicadas screeching in the trees.  It felt like taking them to summer camp…like they should have had bathing suits and towels in their backpacks instead of notebooks and paper

They felt the same, as evidenced here:

Help!

and here:

First day of Kindergarten 

That would be Quinn, not very impressed with his first day of Kindergarten.

They came spilling in the backdoor this afternoon, radiating sweaty, little boy smell.  Bill promptly loaded eveyone into the truck and took them to the swimming pool.

What the hell is up with the people who decide the start date for school????  It used to be that we had 3 full months off.  Now we are lucky if we have 2. 

The upside is, they have all the Holy Days of Obligation off, and since we are not Catholic, we have no obligations!  Yeah, Dr. Luther!

School…..it should not start until after Labor Day.  Can I have some “Hell ya’s”?
