1. It’s time. It’s really really time.
2. You’ve done the sleeping in until 1:00pm thing. You’ve snoozed like the dead until you walked around like half baked zombies with your hair stuck up all weird. Okay, sure, it’s been entertaining, but it’s time to actually use those brain cells.
3. You’ve eaten like frat boys after a bender. Cereal for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. Mac and cheese. Soda like it’s going out of style. We desperately need to return to some sort of normal here.
4. You’re up until all hours of the night, gaming and texting and such. I’m old. I’m tired. I seriously need more sleep than this.
5. No one person can be expected to check this many texts in a single morning without losing their ever-loving mind.
6. I’m torn between hoping we own viewership based stock in Netflix and shrieking, “You’re watching something called Vampire Diaries? REALLY?!”
7. Not for nothing but I’d really enjoy getting back to knowing you’ll at least duck into daily showers. Just sayin.
8. The dogs could use the peace and quiet.
9. We really must transition from getting ready for school to being in school because the stress of lists and requirements and what am I forgetting now is turning me gray(er).
10. Also – and don’t get me wrong, your very presence is a gift, my darlings – but if you interrupt me again just as I’ve finally grabbed hold of a train of thought mommy is gonna lose her shit. Truly. School is safer for all of us.
To your last limits!

I think I remember the feeling. But it’s been a long time that I was here.

I need you to know that I’m laughing “with” you. Laura – at least I hope so. Pretty soon.
Now, on that first day, do you just nap for a couple hours after they all clear out?

Laugh away, Dan. I’m giggling with most of these. Some might take a while but I’ll get there eventually. Either way it’s 8:10 and those kids are out of the house and in their classrooms SO WHO WINS NOW?! Bwahahahaha!
Normally I protect my entire first week like a mama protects her baby bird. Lots of napping, limited appointments, the whole nine yards. I *never* schedule anything on the 1st day of school but then my car went and freaked out on Friday so I’ve got to drop it off to get checked out today…but after that? Lots of napping, lots of dog snuggling. It’s self-care. 😉

Made me laugh. I think I’ve permanently lost my s***. We go back in just over 2 weeks. The last week is a nightmare as son gets so stressed out. Which means I get super stressed out.

Yeah, the stress level was seriously amped up around here over the last week. My son likes to save his hardcore stressing for the last 24 hours so you can imagine how fun OUR house has been since yesterday morning. But the tykes (teens) are up, out, and dealing with whatever was waiting for them at school by now so at least we’re on the other side of The First Day Of School. 😆
