As Zak's last day at school approaches and I've been reading the fears
that some of us have about what their kids might miss out on because of
not going to school, I was thinking about what I won't miss about Zak
going to school and what I will miss.



I won't miss waking him up at 7am so that he can have breakfast, be
awake and leave at 8am to drive to school

I won't miss making Zak go to bed by 8pm so that he's awake in the
morning, when he does his best talking and questioning at 10:30pm.

I won't miss insisting that Zak turn his light off when he's been
reading for 2 hours and he's still awake and wants to continue to read

I won't miss feeling a sense of panic every morning about getting
everything done, lunch made, breakfast in him, clothes on to get him to
school "on time"

I won't miss prying out of Zak what he's been doing all day when he's
been gone for 7 hours and I have no idea what he's been up too.

I won't miss picking him up and finding him sitting in the office
because he couldn't sit still in home room

I won't miss paying $640 per month for Zak to be away from home.

I won't miss hearing Zak say "but I don't want to go to school today,
why can't I go just a couple of days a week to play with my friends?"



To be honest here's what I will miss:



I will miss having a tidy house because of only having Max at home

I will miss having some quiet time to myself when Max takes a nap

I will miss spending time with Max on his own and focusing on him



Just some thoughts.

Nothing to do with the subject of the post but I just had our 4th baby and
he's called Zachary Max -- couldn't help pick up on your boys' names:)
