So why is everything long sleeved and flannel and whatever? I mean, in uniform world it doesn't matter so much. Shorts and short sleeved polo. Done. But for M, I can't even find a cute short sleeved shirt for back to school. All the stuff I would actually buy is on summer clearance and picked over. It's dreadfully annoying.
Not that M doesn't look adorable in some of her new clothes.
It's just that it's way too hot to wear any of them.
But the school shoes arrive today and M's school bag personalization was done yesterday, so we really are ready. (Apart from buying two bags of cotton balls for M's teacher wishlist.) And that's great! I feel 98% unstressed about the school year beginning. And that 2% is navigating the new car line situation. Because we don't have a fancy Honda Odessy where I can open the door and C can't really open the door by himself so... I don't know how this is going to go down exactly. I have already resolved myself to parking and walking for the first few days just to observe.
Sure, I am emotional about both kids being gone for a period of time, but it's going to be okay. We will figure out our new normal soon enough.
We are heading into this weekend with nothing major to do, just a family weekend to celebrate the end of summer. And I am excited.
I bet you'll have the car rider line down in no time. Typically there are teachers to help the little ones who are having trouble getting the door open! And you can always hop out and help if necessary! You've got this!!
