You Think December Is Busy? Why It's Got Nothing on September & Back-to-School Time Parenting School/Education

You did it! If your kids returned to in-person school, you dropped your kids off at school for their first day. You think you can breathe a sigh of relief? Nope! 

September is gonna drive you mad. Not the upset kind, but the crazy kind. Why?

• The schedules (after and before-school activities).

• The need to make lunches (ugghhhh, the lunches!).

• Sending in school forms.

• Keeping track of all the back-to-school nights.

• Signing up for classroom helper jobs.

• Volunteering for the PTA.

Yep, you'll feel like you're running a marathon, and that's only Monday. Come Friday you'll have:

• To keep track of special spirit wear days.

• Fundraisers.

• Bring books back for the library.

• Locate the homework (I don't know how it gets lost in a backpack, but it does!).

• Do the homework.

• Send in pennies for a purpose.

• Picture day.

• Fill out more forms for who knows why.

You'll be ready for any reason to be sent to a mommy time-out. And if your children play any sports, join clubs, try out for a play or play an instrument then you'll really be insane, because there is no way we can do it all on our own.

Thank goodness for a good tribe to keep us sane – or at least toast the weekend with! Cheers to getting out of it alive!
