Love the way you turned Alice Cooper’s song into a mom’s rejoice and be glad. I used to call my kids ‘The Pyjama People’ which my editor found rather amusing. “Oh, no,” I’d say. “They’re baaaaaaaaaaack!” School break in December: kids wore pj’s all day, watched TV, played computer games and ate boxcars of cereal. Easter: Same thing. Summer: Shriek! Since I freelanced, I’d try to spend the summer ‘doing things with them’ but I still had to do phone interviews. By September, they’d be in school, and I’d scream north in the mini-van to get to the newspaper, where real people lived. I created a series of fantasy titles to share stories. The Pyjama People. Return of the Pyjama People. Pyjama People Meet The Mummy, and then, oh glory, Pyjama People: The Final Chapter. They all grew up and moved out. No more PJ’s except mine! Grin.

Yeah, Jill. As a kid, I could neer understand my mom’s happy face utnil I became a parent myself.

Shelley. Thanks for responding. I savor each and every moment with my kids. Even the four am “Mommy, I’m scared. Can I sleep with you?” wake up call.

Melinda, glad I could help:)

Kim, like you I loved the first day of school–as a child and later as a teacher and mother. Even now, about the first of August I get charged up to learn or do something new. And like clockwork, a juicy story idea will hit then, too. These days I can immediately get on that story because I don’t have that little redheaded boy to get to school or a classroom to manage. I can do what I want pretty much when I want. Today your blog takes me back to enjoy all those lovely first days long ago. Thank you!

Your blog brought back a lot of memories. As a young teacher, the first day of school meant an end to my summer vacation. As a working mom, it meant my schedule would get crazier–taking the kids to their 6:45 a.m. band practice and figuring out transportation to all their clubs and activities. Now that I’m older, I wish I could live a lot of those first days of school again. Enjoy your kids while they’re young, Kim!

So thrilled to know I’m not the only mom in the world who used to count down the minutes until school started again so I could write for hours uninterupted. Nowadays the kids are all grown up so all the hours are my own, but I remember those days.
