I knew it would happen – I just knew it.
Didn’t I tell you yesterday – as much as I love it, back to school night just plain disrupts our whole schedule?
I looked inside my crystal ball and I saw the future – but not exactly:
I just cross my fingers and hope all of those assignments get done.
You see – the assignments did get done! Yipee! I taught them well, I patted myself on the back, I put those darling children on the bus – and then I came back into the house and I found
- the above Math folder – along with the nicely completed homework that is due today on one of my son’s desks
- AND the below Drama folder – along with the nicely completed homework that is due today on a different son’s desk.
Somehow in the hustle and bustle of back to school night – that gentle, little reminder of “Is your backpack packed up for tomorrow?” (usually conveyed in a loud booming voice that permeates all levels of the house) was forgotten.
Sigh.
