school starts tomorow

I know that most students have been back in classes for weeks, but not here in central PA. Our young'uns head back to the fabled halls tomorrow morning. It'll be a different schedule than we're used to--by a long shot.

I don't think we (and by we, I mean ME) were out of bed before 10 many days of the last week. The beach isn't a big pull to me, and I like staying up late and sleeping in. Levi set his alarm clock for 6:15 tomorrow morning. Yikes. He has to catch a bus at 7:30. His sisters follow him about an hour later.

They're all kind of nervous/excited about the start of another year. Levi will be the "small fish in the big pond," moving into Middle School. He spent part of the day mapping out his classrooms (changing classes) and memorizing his locker combo. It was a day of running around to pick up last minute school supplies, some gym sneaks for Levi, and the back-to-school haircuts for the girls.

Kim tells me that she was a nervous kid before the start of every school year. I don't think I was. We compared notes tonight. Both of us went to a lot of schools before we got to high school. Kim changed just about every year from grades 1-6. I changed prior to Kindergarten, 3rd (or 4th), 6th, 7th , 8th, and 10th grades. My dad was in the US Air Force, and we moved around a little. I think I liked it. I don't remember worrying about the start of school. But maybe I was a little weird...

But like we always say at the Sublett House: Weird is good!
