school

We received the call this week.  Charlotte now has a spot in school-choice-#1. 
Tonight is meet-the-teacher night.  We have mixed feelings — as usual
— excitement and dread, all at once — to send our children off to
school for so many hours each day.  See, I really like my kids
and I want them around.  But, of course, without an education, they will
likely be 'around' for the next 50 years, so that won't work.

Today,
I'm wrapping up instructions for a new sewing pattern, only the
sweetest lunch bag ever.  I can't wait to share it.  Hopefully I'll have
photos by early next week and patterns in hand soon after.  I do have
back-to-school on my mind, don't I?  Of course, all of us here will be
toting our lunches to work in improved style as well.

Ooo, can't wait (clap, clap, clap).
