nice big smile for 6am

School daze

Posted on 24 Aug ’10 by Nikki Murray

Last week was completely hijacked by preparations for the return to school. There was supply shopping, clothes shopping, shoe shopping, open house, orientation and the constant driving around that these things required. By the time the first day of school came around, I was ready for a vacation in Tahiti.

The girls seemed to have a pretty positive attitude about the end of their summer break. I can’t ask for any more than that.

Like mother, like daughter. (I carried a hello kitty lunchbox in high school, too.)

    High school? What do you mean high school? Not high school already?

      I know. I’m not sure that has sunk in, yet.

    *sigh* I miss those days of flirting across the table while in a high-chair. Or lounging on the couch with a kid under each arm watching a movie. Playing tag on a sunny day. But Alex is going to have a blast; I can imagine.

    Sounds like the time before was typically exhausting, but well worth it…Can’t believe it’s high school already. xoxox

      So far, they both seem to really be enjoying this year. Time flies, doesn’t it?

    My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. I presently work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.

    Also me:
