  2. I was thinking that was going to be one packed day. I smiled when I got to the bottom and saw that you were going to play first! I hope that your transition back to work goes well and that you still find time for yourself.

  4. And don't forget to play in between all the other non-play things that vie for attention as you start the new school year.
    Loved the poem!

  5. @Elsie, Mrs. V., MG, and Donna --- I did play first and it was a fabulous last day at home with my toddler :). Thank you for your kind words about the slice poem! I don't usually write poetry, so it means a lot!!! Hope you're enjoying summer at its finest...

    @Donna --- will keep the 'play' state of mind!
