Back to School - Welcome Back Brain!

As this week ticks by, I find myself in a unique time warp* – Monday is Amelia’s second first day of kindergarten, or, were I a film writer, “Kindergarten, Part Deux: Mom Regains Brain Function”.

My most sincere wish (aside from my other sincere wish a few paragraphs down there ) is for Amelia to get to school and think to herself “aha! These are my people! Mom has never been so FUN! Oh my eyes, what have we been missing?!”


Really. No teary Jen collapsed in the dust (or in our case, gray slush) left behind the rapidly departing school bus. It has been far too long since Amelia has had normal kid-time, and too long since I’ve had the ability to be off-duty for a few hours. I have a little secret, you see…

Come closer.
