september
I just wanted to bundle them up in their beds and keep them.
I want to order the fire wood and close all the windows.
I want to turn on the furnace and put away the pretty plants in the garden.
I want the leaves to change, to put on a sweater, to need hot chocolate.
I want to bake things.
I just don't feel like dealing with school and teachers (not that I do anything specific at the schools) and having our days built around 8am and 3pm.
We already have appointments with doctors and dentists and the orthodontist.
I let Youngest play World Of Warcraft for hours on end yesterday.
I let Middle pick the dinner.
Oldest had a new bass player over to play for a while.
I know there will be great adventures ahead of us, that we have so many fun things to look forward to - but I just didn't want to let them go this morning...
I am going to attack Youngest's room - god knows what awaits me in there.
And, at 12:30, my friend P is having a 'drunken luncheon' at the Irish pub in honor of the first day of school. I don't think she's any happier to see her three off today either.
So.
To all of you sending wee ones to kindergarten and old ones to universities, I wish a peaceful day.

Drunken luncheon, hmm... A new tradition well worth starting.
Have a fun luncheon.
In fact I'm about to go in and do wake up right call now..uugggg
Have a fun luncheon- that should help.
School her ewill begin on Sept 18th.
I am still enjoying the sea, the boat and my lovely (please allow me) son...and I am fearing the 18th will arrive WAY TOO SOON. It's warm, sunny, calm sea, crystal clear waters...why should kid sbe closed up in schools...I don't understand...
Cheer up, though. Drunken luncheon...I'm in!!!
Sounds great.
I was delighted to put my 13-year-old on the bus yesterday morning.
Who needs a drunken luncheon when you can pad around your quiet house in your pajamas all morning?
I'm waiting for your post-luncheon post.
Also, two friends have boys going into kindergarten--I'm so proud, as if they were my own kin!
Me, I cry at the alzheimer's commercials--not sure why they're affecting me lately.
But I bet if I had kids I'd be in that wistful place of wanting them to stay and wanting them to fly.
bb--I put a list on my blog for you, come see!
