but then again

I could be sad that my girls are headed back to school as a junior and 8th grader... but then again....they get up all by themselves these days and I sleep in an extra 15 minutes.

I could be sad that there there are no more lunches to pack in brand new Barney lunch boxes......but then again...they pack their own lunches now and I don't have to worry about making anyones lunch but my own.

I could be sad that I can't help them with homework anymore because they are taking classes like chemistry, geometry, and life science....but then again I'm glad they can do homework all by themselves so I have time to run after work.

I could be sad that they are driving themselves to school now.....but then again.....I get control of the radio for a change. That means no more Beyonce at 8 am.

I could be sad that this is the last first day of middle school for Virginia and only one more first day of school for Leslie.....but then again..me and Big Daddy are one step closer to a new Corvette and mountain roads.

It's all in how you look at it, at least that's what I keep telling myself!
