Ah, the first day of school. A day preceded by frantic worrying, a sleepless night for everyone. Did we get all the supplies? What is my locker number? Hundreds of questions circling through the minds of the students and parents alike.
Then when the alarm (unused throughout the summer) sounds, everyone jumps out of bed, reading themselves for the day in record time. This energized morning, precipitated by anxiety, will turn into the slogging forgetful mornings in a week or so.
Now I sit. Logged into my day job enveloped in quiet, the clacking of the keys beneath my fingers is the only sound in the house. I can be lonely for the chaos of my children tomorrow, but today I plan on relishing the peace.
