School is Back in Session

On Monday, August 25th, I heard an audible sigh of relief and a few whoops in The Woodlands when the last school bus pulled out of the neighborhood. 

Summer is like a having a house guest for a week or more.  You are happy to see it come and you are happy to see it go!

For our family this school year was one of firsts.  My daughter started her first day of intermediate school and bus riding and my son start his first day of high school.

For the many children whose families I help locate new homes in their new town, they started a whole new adventure in a totally new school system.  Each of them excited with the expectations of a great new school year and adventure.

For many moms, it was an opportunity to have a complete thought without being interrupted by one of her precious children informing her of the hunger pains, boredom, or some other issue.

For me, it was the opportunity to work without feeling guilty about being a working mom.
