Yes, like everyone else, my child started school last week for the first time! Olivia and I were both very excited. She happily went left me to go start her school career. I envy her! I wasn't excited just because it means being able to run some errands with just one child, but because I REALLY LOVE SCHOOL! I wish I were going! Or teaching. I miss teaching so much (not enough to put my children in daycare, but enough that I know I will do it again one day when they are all in school).
I love the start of a new school year, school-supply shopping, new classrooms, new hopes and dreams of what the year will hold. The smell of new textbooks, art supplies, it is all so much fun. I loved every year of my schooling and always looked forward to going back after summer vacation!
And so..... I was also enthused to start my own class last night! I have to renew my Florida Teaching Certification (you have to renew every 5 years), and since I am not currently teaching, I have to take some college courses to do so. Darn:) I started a painting class last night at the local state college (where I could actually be teaching myself if I was so inclined....). Just registering for my class and getting my parking decal, etc was so much fun. Yes, I have a masters, and now I am taking a course at the state college. But I don't care!!! Its school!!! Hooray for school!!
anyone else with me??

Congrats Katie and Olivia. You both are so smart. Take care.
i love school too - sometimes the idea of being an eternal student is so appealing to me, but then I have to remember that school still costs money - lame! so happy for olivia - she looks so excited! was it hard to find a good pre-k? my sister and some friends i have are all putting their kids into montessori so i was looking into that for Addie but it costs an arm and a leg!
2So cute to see her all ready with her backpack. Charlie starts next week, and we get to take pics with him and his casts as he embarks on his world of pre-school. I like learning.....that is all...
I love school!! I've been dying to take a language class. Or a sewing class. Or a dance class! Someday...
