Graysons principal emailed this and I thought it was too cute to not share.... Cant believe both of mine are going tomorrow! Twas the Night Before School Starts Twas the night before school starts, when all through the house not a child was stirring, not even my spouse. The backpacks were hung, in the mudroom with ease, in the hopes our first morning, would be but a breeze. The children were restless, alone in their beds with visions of homework crowded their heads. While dad had no problem calling it a night, I in my pj’s couldn’t turn out the light. Then out of my head, there arose such a clatter I thought to myself, just what is the matter? Over the hum of the dryer, and the washer’s soft swish It suddenly became clear that I’d gotten my wish. After hours of driving, and long afternoons and bored children fighting, about games and cartoons, My sanity had vanished, in the summer’s long stay. I remember now wishing summer would just go away. Smiles and giggles sprung from my face, as I danced through the kitchen, with ease and grace. Because after breakfast, buses, and tea, I would have my house, completely kid free! Now groceries! Now errands! Now showers and hair! On writing! On workouts! On lunch, I’ll be there! Without piles of laundry and toys on the floor I wouldn’t be embarrassed if someone came to the door. And then in an instant, I saw my days pass my sweet tiny babies’ first steps in the grass. Their chubby little cheeks, fingers and toes laughing and playing, where is your nose? I choked back a sob, with a tear in my eye the summer is now over--How did time fly? They’re much too little to grow up this fast. There has to be a way, to make this all last! I snuck up the stairs, and turned out the light. kissed their sleepy heads, and tucked them in tight. No more will I wish, for these days to flee, But hold my children, all the more closer to me.
