You know it's that time of year when kiddies with backpacks crowd the corner every morning...
you can get a pack of pencils for 5 cents at your local office supply store...
and your neighbor's child comes by asking if you want to buy gift wrap (our fundraiser starts the second week of school!)
But I must say, for the last 3 months I've missed morning mayhem, homework, packing lunches and all the wonderful chaos that comes with having kids in school. Tonight's our "Back to School" night, so I'll get to meet my daughter's teacher for the first time. 
This year I decided to get involved in the PTA and see what that's all about. What I like so far is that I get a heads up on everything happening at school before it happens.
It's funny - when school starts, my whole schedule changes. All summer I drove to work after dropping the kids at camp. But when school starts, I usually hop back on the Metro.
Evenings are totally different. Instead of grilling on the deck and watching the stars, it's "eat your dinner - do your homework - time for bed."
Maybe we can do homework on the deck under the stars, just as a little reminder that summer's not quite gone yet. :)
