Anyways. Its that time again. Time to set alarm clocks. Pack pb&j lunches (that are never as cool as the lunches their friends pack). Check homework. Fight about homework. And fight again about nightly showers and bedtime. Ugh- I'm exhausted thinking about all of it.
But, we managed to make it through back to school night and the first day without much drama. But, today marked day 3. Enter: Drama. Tears. And false hopes. Lucy didn't want pb&j, she wanted to eat hot lunch (sorry, no. not gonna happen). Lucy made a new friend and Hudson is heart broken. He cried all morning as he watched his 'Wucy' get on the bus, wanting to go with her (sorry. not gonna happen). And now he won't shut up about going to 'chuck e cheeses'! Now, I know I didn't tell him he could go. And, I know I didn't 'pomissed' him he could go either. I wonder who did? Cough* G *cough. So, while hurricane Hudson twirls through the house screaming about his 'Wucy' and 'chuck e cheeses'- I am hiding and throwing snacks in his direction whenever the wind blows him by.
So, while I jump back into Pap smears and sore throats (for school, not for fun) I just wanted to wish all you moms a happy back to school. Good luck. May you always have happy children who love pb&j, homework, and showers. And if not, remember that wine is on sale right now. Appropriately so.
Peace and love,
-A
