Back to the Grind

After enjoying our last week of summer, including a surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa, the kids went back to school today.  As has been the case with kids for hundreds of years, they were excited to see their friends and not excited to actually have to read and write.  That said, I commend them for waking up with good attitudes and attacking the day with joy.  Ultimately, it ended up being a good day for both of them ... and a lonely day for me as I was left home alone for the first time in months.
