DEAR TEACHERS

I can’t remember if already wrote you a letter. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn’t. Maybe it’s stuck somewhere inside my high school journal. 

But in the event I didn’t, here’s what I want to say to you.

All of you. Because despite the fact that our school year is coming to a close and I'm emotionally raw over it, because the babies are absolutely growing at the speed of light.....

I'm also incredibly grateful. To you. To all of you. And here’s why.


ALL THE REASONS WE LOVE BACK TO SCHOOL + THE ONE REASON WE DON'T

I don’t know about you. But I’m thrilled the school year is starting. It bringsa sort of renewal to the end of the year. A sort of re-start if you will, or re-set. It’s schedules, packed lunches, early bedtimes, drop offs, pick ups, and an organized kind of chaos that puts us all in a bit of order. It's routine. And mandatory, not optional. And although, the early bedtimes, mean perhaps a glorified bath with a glass of wine and a good mud mask for mom, the mandatory part of the equation puts a damper on my heart. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only mother who feels this way.
