Tomorrow school begins--so bittersweet. It is time to say farewell to dirty bare feet that have run wild and free. It is time to say hello to our clocks and watches again that have been sitting dusty and unused during these carefree days of summer. How I will miss not living by the scheduled hands of time and simply just living...but all good things must come to an end.

I admit it is time for some structure. It is time to reveal what the new school year has in store for the young in our home and Mommy, too. There is excitement in the air--a new year--new possibilities.

This morning, however, there is still the aura of summer laziness that lingers over our household. My children and I are in denial of what tomorrow will hold for us. I know that the smart thing would have been to ease into the transition of school days, and I had every good intention to do so. But, the sweet summer has kept us captured in her warm embrace...just a little while longer she whispered in our ears and we obeyed.

Tomorrow will be here soon enough to say our final goodbyes.
