Back To School

I have to admit
That when kids are back to school
I am the happiest of them all

Might sound meany
But two months chilling
Gets to you at the end

I love our time together with the beach and sun
But every 5 minutes they say we are done
Now we want to have fun

I take them to theaters, movies and parks
We even travel for a month really far
We visit new places and meet new people
We even take road trips in our car

Then comes the question that I dread the most
What are we doing next?
And when I say we are going home
They give me this look as if they are lost

So now that we are back to school
I can finally have an hour or two on my own

Don't think it's as cool as it sounds
For when we start school
There are times when I just sleep on the ground

Wake up at 6
Make their lunches and snacks
And no matter how hard I am prepared
It is always a mess

Pick them at 3
Have a snack under the school's tree
Then I start dropping them off
To their activities and stuff

After reading all this am now a bit confused
Is it the rush and the mess that I miss
Or do I need this hour alone everyday
To just feel a little bit soothed!!!???
