On The Eve of the First Day of School

It’s time. 


The outfit has been chosen. 

The forms have been filled out, signed and dated.

We’ve attended Open House Night and met the new teacher. 

The items on the school supply list have been purchased and labeled. 

Summer is coming to a close and I don’t even remember it happening. 9 weeks just came and went. 

As I double checked the mental list of what needs to be done on a school night I realized this is the best day of the year. 

I haven’t screwed up yet. 

I haven’t forgotten to send a lunch or lunch money to school. 

Permissions slips haven’t been lost in the piles on my desk. 

No one has gone to school on picture day with bed head & a shirt with a spaghetti stain. 

I’ve signed up for FTO and not a single meeting has been missed. 

So tonight as I go to bed I can rest assured that I am on my “A” game with a perfect record for the school year with nothing to apologize for or to be ashamed of. 

Yet. 

Hurray for the Eve Of The First Day of School.
