Kids are back to school today....not so cool!

I believe the summer is for kids!  They should get bored......they should relax, have fun and make great memories.  So the kids go back to school today....AUGUST 13th.....Rockwood School District is crazy.  I am not sure of all of the issues....but for some reason they had to start the school very early.

I broke tradition today.  For the past 11 years I have followed the bus to school.  In the early years, riding right behind the bus so the kids could see me through the windows and in the  later years when I would be a few cars back....not trying to embarrass them.  Even in the later years, they would all look over to car and give me a smile or wave.  This year, I stayed home and made them all breakfast and saw them off to the bus.....only one (Chris) or had to drive them to school.  I am sure Chris does not even notice that the red rocket is not following the bus.  As a 5th grader...he is king of the bus this year.

A chapter closes today......another one will open.....maybe it will be a yearly breakfast send off!

The ride behind the bus is a great memory.....I am sure the kids will always remember their crazy dad insisting on following them.

I knew something was wrong today, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I can't believe you didn't follow the bus! I was counting on you! Just kidding :).
