I'm late! (FOR SCHOOL!)
I'm Late For School
I got up late for school today,
And nearly missed the bus!
I hurried down the stairs,
Wolfed my toast, and caused a fuss!
I quickly threw books in my bag,
My pens, my lunch and shorts.
Grabbed my coat from out the cupboard,
Took my bat and ball for sports.
I slid across the kitchen floor,
And hopped around the cat!
Then expertly rolled over,
Jumped back up and grabbed my hat!
I belted out of our front door,
Spun round and swung it shut.
Saw the bus was waiting for me,
I felt I had time to strut!
I climbed aboard and then froze still,
And knew that things weren't right!
My friends fell down in fits of fun,
And pointed with delight!
My face went red, I couldn't breathe,
For in my haste I knew!
I'd forgotten to wear trousers,
Jumper, shirt, my socks and shoes!

I thought this poem would be cute, since we can all relate. It seems we're always rushing on that first day, forgetting one thing or another.
We have one more day of summer, and we start classes on Wednesday. In some ways, I'm ready to get things back into a normal routine. In other ways, I'd love to have the kids around all the time, like they are in the summer. It is so nice to let them sleep in a little, have their help around the house, and eat lunch with all three of them at the same time! We've spent most of our summer at the concrete plant, but Grandma has enjoyed the help.
Anyhew -- you have my prayers, as you all send your kids, grandkids, and others off to school.
May this school year be the best yet!!!!!!
