This time of year always feels like a new beginning, but I also tend to look back: on the summer, last year at this time, where we were, what I hoped to accomplish and what I actually did (or didn't, of course, darn unopened Spanish audio tapes).
This year, it's also the end of one of the most magical, educational, emotional and personally trying times of my entire life. For the past five years I've had the twins 24/7, and I've loved it. We've crafted, field tripped, hugged it out, swaddled, swam, snuggled and sneezed, binge watched some shows about math and robotic dinosaurs and generally gotten to know each other pretty well. They've learned to live with my quirks as I've learned to live with the constant tugging, talking and general twin onslaught 16 hours each and every lovely day without throwing my own tantrum.
But, it's kindergarten! It's exciting! It's thrilling! I am going to ball my eyes out, hopefully in the car while driving away and not at any point before that!
So, I made up a list of songs to get us in the right mood before we head out the door. OK, they will be bouncing off the walls, but I need a little something to keep the tears at bay and remind me how much I enjoyed my years behind a little desk (little SAHWM humor).
Take a listen, enjoy your day, your first of whatever or just a few minutes of groove time before Monday hits you in the face.
