Why is it always such a hassle getting the kids off to school on time? Lots of arguments, complaining and other extreme forms of grumpiness. Eat, drink, put on your clothes, don't forget your lunch, put on your coat, no, yes, no, no. It is enough to tire one out completely, and there is still the whole day to go. These are my wild and crazy kids. Four different personalities competing in life, a life centered on selves, the selves who they are and who they are meant to be. Asserting ones existence. Well, I should be thankful that they are strong, vocal, assertive, confident and resistive. It is better than having a boring bunch of passive kids who could care less. Once they are all off to school, it is round two this early Monday morning. Another week will pass by, a month and a year, and then they will all be grown up and gone. Then they will (hopefully) come and visit me once in awhile, bringing along their own bunch of wild and crazy kids, my grandchildren. Enjoy and learn while you can.
