The Return of School





It's noon and the house is eerily quiet. I forgot what is was like to have solitude in the middle of the day. It was all back to business this morning. Hair freshly combed, the printer spitting out the newly minted thoughts destined for review by their new teachers. Breakfast, check. Papers, check. Cells phone, check. A quick look in the mirror and then out the door with the excitement of seeing old friends, new faces and having a new set of routines. The first day of school on a beautiful September day means the beginning of the next chapter for mom, as well.
