When One Door Closes...

Here it is... the Summer of '15 is officially over. The 2015-16 school year has just begun. And I should be jumping for joy or elbow deep in soap and bleach as I clean my house and get a rid of all the summer mess and germs still lingering. But instead I am sitting here in silence wondering what now? This week is not just the start of a new school year... it is so much more. It's a start to a new way of life for my household. It is a start to a new normal. 

We have started an uncharted territory of parenthood with an adult child, new football program, Tad has a new job, Mikayla is learning to drive, Mikayla is now working in the real world. Everything will be different from now on. 

I suppose I could try to be positive about this and approach it with "When Door Closes, Another One Opens!" attitude. And for the most part it is true. There are benefits to the changes we are going through as a family on a whole. Life has a way of changing everyday and pushing forward despite the change of course. 

It's going to be a great school year! A good year for all of us. Happy School Days my friends!
