Today Lauren and Gracie returned to school for the first time in over a week. You see, school was closed all last week due to "Ice Storm 2011". Now, I love my children, obviously. Let's go ahead and stipulate to the fact that they are greatly loved, cherished and deeply missed when they are not around. Stipped, yes?
However, with the pre-holiday school excitement, the holidays themselves and the brief return to school (They were literally back in school for three days prior to the ice closure.), and then the week hiatus due to inclement weather and "impassable secondary roads," it seems like they have been out of school for a month. I suppose it seems that way because, with the exception of the brief three-day return, it, in fact, has been an entire month.
Therefore, this morning, after dropping the girls at school, I came home to bask in the quiet, enjoy a perfectly chilled Diet Coke and listen to the "Hallelujah Chorus" playing within my soul.
