I don't do summer well. I used to blame it on the kids-- that they needed the routine of the school year-- but really, it is me. Though I love our summer experiences, seeing family and friends, I need the routine. I love what I do and miss it during the summer. I long for the rhythm of our school days.
So when the first day of school comes, I hum "Its the most wonderful time of the year" to myself all day. For me, it really is. New beginnings & freshly sharpened pencils.
Though, every year, I forget how long it takes to get into the rhythm. We are 4 weeks in, and we still haven't found the beat. New classes, new expectations, new routines. We are still figuring it out here at the Hoy House. I know it will come, that we will one day find ourselves in the rhythm of the school year. Today is not that day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. Hopefully soon.
