The Lump

I know in blogger world I am playing catch up on a fabulous summer, but here in the real world.... IT...... is 1 week away. 1 week!!! 7 days from today, school starts.


There go the lazy days of summer, the days of staying up late and sleeping the morning away, of deciding what to do on a whim, of not having to be anywhere at any particular time, of having my family all to myself, of following no body's schedule but our own......


Here comes the lump. The one that makes your breath shallow, your nose burn and your eyes sting with tears.


Oh dear, not again! How will I ever hold it together on that 1st day if I am already missing her now?
