Pages Monday, October 8, 2012 parenting MONDAYS ~ BACK TO SCHOOL / POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS I suffer severely from empty nest syndrome when my daughter's go back to school. We have had a jam packed 2 week break filled with visit, movies and shopping. I never look forward to the first day back as the weekly routine gets back to schedule. I frequently add little notes in their lunch boxes or in their diaries and these are some of my favourites. If I forget to add a little note I often send a little text message reminding them how wonderful they are.
