First day of school 2012

I like having my kids home for the summer, but it is pretty much a bazillion degrees here and that makes it hard for me to want to leave the comfort of my air conditioned home.  I think the kids are happy to go back to school so they have something to do.  I don't know, it's a theory.  This year the middle school changed start time (again!) to 9:00 so the elementary school got moved back to 9:30.  There are three schools basically starting and ending at the same time.  Plus there is a bus yard right behind the school that the buses are all trying to get to at the same time.  Traffic is a mess!  That said, it's kind of nice to have all the kids at school at the same time.  I get six whole hours to do whatever I want!  That's right, I can clean the house and go grocery shopping and take a shower all on the same day.  It's a whole new world, and I think I can get used to it.
