You know, there are certain things that make a girl giddy! You can give her a big box of chocolates, diamond jewelry, a kiss from a hunka-hunka man. But if you want to hear a vast majority of women (okay they need to be moms or step-moms) giggle and jump with delight, you wait for the moment when the school bells ring that wonderfully superb August morning. School is IN SESSION–YIPPEE!!!!!!!

Less than a week, do you hear me, LESS THAN A WEEK and those little sh…, er ah, bra… um, wonderful dears will be back in school. ALL OF THEM. The little one begins Kindergarten this year, and am I sad to see my baby mark a milestone in his life–HELL NO! I am giddy with excitement :-)
