And I'm not talking about the green and red decorations. For me, once I start smelling freshly sharpened pencils and seeing underwear ads in the paper, my skin starts to tingle in anticipation of the First Day of School! Since my kids entered the halls of higher education (as compared to home), it is the day of the year I most look forward to. Don't get me wrong. It has been a great summer, we've had lots of fun, and it's time for them to go back to those hallowed halls of learning before I start to slit my wrists..........was that too graphic? My life it getting too complicated with commitments and there really isn't one that I'm willing to part with. Hence, it's time for my little angels to be occupied by something beneficial so I can remove the guilt I feel for ignoring them while I get my work done. I hold a special place in my heart for the many many wonderful people who have made teaching their calling. I for one relish the few hours I have for things that I like to do without children, like grocery shop during the daylight hours, or venturing to those much required Dr. visits that ask me to expose more of myself than I'm comfortable with, or having quiet time without the theme song of "Signing Time" playing over and over and over again. Although I will admit to shedding a tear or two as my little boys ride off on that big yellow bus the first day of school, I love to have my children out of the home for a little bit of time. It helps me rejuvenate and be glad to see them upon their return. Sam will be starting pre-school and I couldn't be happier. She is so ready to be involved in the structure and the activities and the social connections that come with school. She is my baby, but I'm ready to cut the apron strings and see her walk away from my arms into that great big world. I love seeing my kids grow-up.
Ok so I'm sure you noticed that this blog has no new paragraphs in it. How do I make that work? I will write and write and write so many wonderful ramblings and use all the proper grammar and paragraph formations and then post it only to have all my hard work undone and an image of me not knowing anything about proper paragraph placement. It just eats away at me in my sleep. So I plead with those more blogger-savvy than myself, save a suffering victim of unknown paragraph spacing!

I always put two hard returns in between paragraphs...it works for me
Anyone else?
Is a hard return something other than two hits of the Enter key?
You crack me up. I actually snorted when I read your post. Maybe you should start a support group for those without proper paragraph spacing.
