Monday Quote – Back to School

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. ~Aristotle

Today is back-to-school for my sons, and I swear they are only focused on the “bitter” half of this quote.

• No more sleeping in.
• No more wearing pajamas ALL DAY.
• No more afternoons at the pool.
• No more endless hours of video games.

I can see where it might seem bitter.

But I think it’s sweet.

• No more rotating baby-sitters.
• No more coming home to “Operation Destroy the House.”
• No more “Mom, there’s nothing to do.”

I have convinced myself (if not them) that deep inside, they’re really looking forward to the start of school. I know I am.
