he e-mails are flying between the ladies trying to schedule the annual Back to School event. The ladies reminisce and remember how this event has evolved over the years.
Coffee and pastries at a home, while the pre-schoolers play. Conversations with complete sentences.
Breakfast out when youngest start pre-school, "We're out!"
When pre-schoolers start all-day school - Quick lunch of every appetizer on the menu. "Real food for lunch, I will never eat another PB&J sandwich again."
Used to all the children being in school - Leisurely lunch. "What teachers do you kids have?" "Mrs. So and So." "Oh no, I hear she is awful."
Oldest children entering middle school and becoming tweens, someone (Patty Party) suggests ordering a glass of wine with lunch. "Cheers"
Older children are starting high school (teen-agers), younger ones starting middle school (tweens) The wine becomes a martini. "Did Johnny pass his driver's test?"
Older children college, younger children in high school, keep the martinis coming. "Another round." We don't need to be home in time for the school bus and we are living with men and teenagers.
What will the ladies talk about this year, check back on Thursday.
