School starting in two weeks - am I ready or not. With an 8th grader and a 6th grader at my school its hard to say. My oldest - Mitchell was ready for his 8th grade year to be the best year ever until he broke his leg - slowly football, basketball (and everything else according to him) has slipped away. My youngest - Peyton is not sure he wants to go to his brother's school.

Its always been very easy for me not to compare siblings that I have taught since as a student I was always compared to my over-achieving and my over-comedic brothers. Will it be as easy not to compare my own to boys? One who is so quick to please and one who doesn't give a flip about pleasing?

Who knows???
