Things to come?

Today is the start of school for our local school district.  Seems somewhat strange not to have a kid enrolled there any more!  Although the start of school was always an exciting time for me, both as a student and a teacher (and also as a parent), it was admittedly bittersweet, since it also meant that summer vacation was over.

Some days I get a glimmer of hope that Alex is maturing. Yesterday a commercial came on TV where the mother was on a health kick (exercising) and the kids were worried when she made them breakfast, but (no surprise) it turned out to be something that tasted good.  Alex commented that he misses the days when I made him breakfast (a couple of eggs, some toast, glass of milk/juice, fruit, etc.)  He freely admitted that it was his choice to stop eating it (we did have many arguments about him going off to school without breakfast!) and says now he can't understand what he was thinking! 

If this is the start of things to come, I'M READY!
