It’s back-to-school time: do you love the start of school or dread it?

I thought that I would be so happy to see my kids go off to school. I dreamed about all of the things I would do with my free time. It was going to be glorious.
I can go shopping by myself again but I’m broke after all of the moving. Who is broke after all of the back to school shopping? There will be no shopping today for many of us. I did a u-turn in the Dollar Store parking lot. It’s the best I can do today.
When I dropped of the youngest kid at school, I drove around the block and parked across the street. There were no open spaces in the parking lot. All of the parents had the same idea – hovering and stalking their children.
It was my youngest kid’s first day at a brand new school. I wanted to make sure she didn’t get lost. I also wanted to see that she wasn’t a hot mess like me. I peeked in on her classroom. She was perfectly fine. No tears or anything. She did so much better at not crying than I did today.
Look at that smile!! Wonderful <3
You started her off right and she’ll do fine. Happy back to school day!
I have a love/hate relationship with back-to-school. Sending you hugs…it’s harder on the momma most of the time.
I may or may not have tromped through the bushes to peek through the window and spy on my son when he first started school. =)
That may or may not be hilarious. (It’s totally hilarious.) 🙂
