Wow, where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday summer vacation was starting and now it is almost over.I must admit this summer was better than the last and I am really sad to see it go.I rushed through last summer and just like that it was over.I was always waiting for something or expecting something and that made the summer fly by.I didn’t do that this time around and thus I was really able to enjoy everyday.
The children made new friends and went to lots of parties and I know the summer of 2006 will be one they never forget.Because the kids were away from home so much, I too was able to go out and do a lot of things I hadn’t done in a long time.I spent a few days upstate with a girlfriend and her husband and it was such a breath of fresh air to be out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country.
Next Tuesday the kids will return to class and I feel really good about this school year.Shane is going off to junior high and Essence is starting the 4th grade with her best friend downstairs whose mother transferred her to our school.All in all things are going great and for once I haven’t a thing to complain about.
