Ten Things of Thankful – Back to School Edition

It’s been kind of a crazy week. Clearly, I was in absolutely no condition to start school. I cannot remember being this tired during the first week of school.

Growing Up

I looked around the room at the other Mommies and Daddies. Mostly, it was Mommies. Younger, older, shorter, taller, heavier, thinner, dressed for work, dressed in what had to be pajamas…they were all the same. One by one, they dropped off children for the first day of Vacation Bible School. Some came in with the children,…
