My 6 Little Men: August 2007

Saturday, August 18, 2007

Only 2 days left! School starts Tuesday. Wish me luck getting the rest of the schedule together.

I thought I'd just take a break today and list my "wishlist fo school":

1. I wish we had completed the addition before school starts this year.
2. I wish all the books were already here.
3. I wish I'd ordered science kits because the thought of putting them together now--Ugh!
4. I wish they were all still little and it was as simple as math, english, and a good book on the couch.
5. I wish for a year supply of chocolate: chips, bars, ice cream, etc.

Time to get back to work. Oh, what is that I smell? Maple flavored sausage links?! My husband is a savior today. Off to eat, and THEN back to work.

Here I am again, just lovin' my 6 little men.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
