School doesn’t start until September 8th for us, so we still have a bit of summer stretched out between now and then, a lot of pools to relax beside and watermelons to eat. We are in no back-to-school rush here. But I know it’s coming because every time I log into Facebook I see happy back-to-school pictures reminding me that our day is coming soon.
The truth is - I am not excited about back-to-school. Not even a little bit. And I have 10 good reasons why.
The phone rings.
“This is Mom’s Taxi Service. Please leave a message and I will-“
Kid #1: “Mom, I have girl guides Tuesday at 7. OK?”
Kid #2: “I have soccer practice on Tuesday.”
Kid #1: “Did you sign me up for art class yet?”
Kid #2: “How come she gets to go to art class?”
Mom’s taxi dispatch: “WRONG NUMBER.”
Although...the peace and quiet that comes from two kids at school all day could make me change my mind.
