The Most Wonderful Time of the Year


Back to School

After a summer of sleeping in, Tanner can't muster the strength
to get up for his first day of school.


Once on his feet he's happy to catch the school bus


On the other hand, Hailey gets up an hour early so that she can
make herself beautiful. Sixth grade means cool clothes, cool
attitude and cool friends. Hailey is so cool she's hot! I can tell
by her choice of clothes this year that "cute " is no longer "in".
It's better to be cool than cute. Eeeeek!

There goes my little girl. When she comes back home at the end
of the day she'll be my little pre-teen.

Why is this the most wonderful time of the year? Because I get
to enjoy things I haven't done in the past 3 months. As soon
as I pushed the children out the door I turned on the news.
Nobody turned the channel!
I took a long, hot bath. Nobody bugged me! I fell into a
hot bath induced coma for two hours. Nobody woke me up!

The most fun I had however, was when I went on a fly killing
spree. For a while I sadistically enjoyed stalking and swatting
flies , pumping my fly swatter like a sawed off shot gun and
proclaiming victory in a voice resembling Arnold Schwartz-
enegger. All the while nobody called me "embarrassing" or
"immature". Ha!
