School is NOT out forever!!

No matter what Alice Cooper tells your children, it's not true.
And so begins another school year. Since I have only two kids, it was a very short jump between sending my first one off to school and sending my last one off to school... and I have reached that very emotional, empty-nest point. #2 is starting Kindergarten, and I have to admit, I'm having a bit of a breakdown.
I'm trying to be excited, because he is, and I don't want to dampen that any, but I'll probably cry. Thank goodness he goes in the morning, I can drown my sorrows in coffee and have myself all put back together by the time he gets home.
Well, back to school time is just as hectic and stressful for the parents as the kids, so off I go - between sorting clothes to see how bad the latest growth spurts are going to affect the budget, buying school supplies, trying to set up my Ravelry account and knit some gifts for a baby shower next month, I'm swamped. (Not really. I just need to get off the computer and make dinner. The children need to eat in order to fuel the next growth spurt, you know!)
More soon, with some pictures, too!!
