Why is it that children can be up at the crack of dawn EVERY day - bright eyed and bushy tailed. Great big smiles. The happiest of happy... Then suddenly school starts and each day you have to drag them out of bed. They have the ugliest faces, grumpiest moods and ghastly demeanour?
How do they do it? Even the youngest who is only 14 months “knows” it’s a school day and gets up grumpy!
All I can say is that it sucks!
Back to school has been a big event in our house and although things have gone very smoothly for Emma Jo – she has slipped into Grade 2 with the greatest of ease – somehow Hannah Rose hasn’t.
Each day we have tears from bedtime the night before, the questions on why she has to go to school; protests on why she has to go until she is 18; pleadings for us to speak to those who make the rules about going to school… and each day at school they more than have to take her off my hands, they actually have to wrestle her from me and prise her hands off my clothes.
As a Mom it is heart breaking, no heart wrenching, to leave with my child pleading for her mommy. It is soul destroying to do it day after day. But I know she is fine 10 minutes after I walk out of that door.
So what’s the solution? Marry someone who loved school and hope his genes will transcend to your children!!!

- I always wanted to be a world reknown war correspondent. A world class novelist. I had plans and goals. Milestones... Today I have an even better deal: I'm married to my Wuvly, have three little "angels" and an awesome step son. We are one great big normal family and it's seriously the best thing EVER.
