First Day of School

Every year it happens - Every year I look forward to it - Every year it does not go the way that I plan it. Yep, today is the first day of school. Katie is in 10th grade and swore that she would NOT go back to Palm Beach Central. Sarah is in 8th grade (the last year of middle school - boo hoo!!!!!). I can remember just like it was yesterday going to Sarah's graduation from kindergarten and crying like a baby!!!!! I don't know where all of the time went.

First thing this morning, we are awakened by Katie telling us it is 6:00 a.m. How can this be when my alarm was supposed to go off at 5:50 a.m???? No way - Katie waking us up????? Well, we had remembered to change the time on the alarm clock but not to turn it on. Hopefully tonight we'll turn it on too!!!! Katie was dressed, looked good, clean and had a great attitude. All summer she swore that she would NOT - NO WAY - ABSOLUTELY CAN'T MAKE HER - go to that school and she was happy and looking forward to her first day of 10th grade.

Sarah on the other hand was quiet and not happy that her summer vacation was over. Who would have guessed this??????

Everytime I think I have figured them out, they surprise me. I hope that they both have a wonderful day and that things are much better this year.
