Good night, Good morning.
School starts here tomorrow - even mommy needs to get to bed for that, because even mommy has to be up and (at least semi) functioning before the bus arrives. Then I will head back to bed and then back here :)
Starts here wednesday..

Back in the days without a/c in any schools, we registered the week before Labor Day and began the Tuesday after.
We had off only National Holidays (+ the Friday after Thanksgiving) - the week for Christmas/NewYear's - but NEVER a Spring Break.
The objective was to graduate/let out the last week of May/first week of June before the heat hit.
Now, with a/c, they begin earlier to allow for more Teacher Days - Spring Break - make up for Bad Weather Days, etc.
The really nice thing is the weekend before school starts, both states give different "Tax Free" whole weekends on all clothing, shoes, school and paper goods, computer stuff; all bedding, towels (primarily for college students) etc. for EVERYONE.
I can take advantage of both (just 45 miles from Augusta, GA) to stock up on copier paper for my printer, pens, and clothes.
Note;
Back in the Deep South in my mother's day, school did not begin the first of September, allowing all possible hands, children included, to pick the ripe cotton into that month...my, how times change, with modernized monster machines to pick it!
Actually, cotton crops have been *greatly* reduced with so many processing mills/fabric mills shut down, cheaper to raise and process overseas.
Most of those old cotton fields have been converted to raising soy beans, and farmers profit more.
( Sigh...I do miss the fall spent fields with all the little missed cotton bolls, some strewn along the roadside - ever so gleeful "escapees" from the cart-to-the-mill..:))
