My husband dropped Middle Sister off at camp for the week while I was at school, and Little Sister is still at my mom's, playing there with her cousins.
Sadly, I have already seen a decline in my reading. Being back at work seriously cuts into my leisure time. Although I do like the structure and routine being back in school brings, and I like my job, the lack of free time is one negative aspect to going back to work.
This Thursday Big Sister turns 12. Amazing to me that she is starting middle school. Today she picked out new shoes and a really nice pair of jeans which have ended up being her birthday present since they are more expensive than jeans I buy for myself. She seems OK with that, but she already has her other present, so hopefully she won't be too disappointed on her birthday when there is nothing to open.
I'm not a big television watcher, but Middle Sister has developed a little bit of royalty madness (coincidence that she is exactly the same age as I was when a royal baby was born and I began my collection?!), and last night we watched Born to Royalty, a documentary about royal children. Of course, it was right up my alley.
I hope I manage to survive this coming week. The adjustment to our school year routine takes a while getting used to. Maybe I'll find a few minutes to read.

Good luck with the new school year your you and the girls.117urisi
I hope the week was kind to you. My kids started back up this week. We have a new principal at the elementary school and sadly, she's not cutting it in my eyes.
We had our other principal for over 12 years so my son's entire grade school career was with her at the helm. I was hoping she could stick it out for another two years so the girl could benefit, but she got transferred and we are left with a mystery.
No one knows who the new principal is. We have a name of course, but she was MIA on the first day and hasn't been seen all week. No welcome back letter. No visits to the class room. And the school yard is a mess. No new paint, no yard work, etc. Not a good first impression.
