is it just me, or is back-to-school time one of the craziest times of the year? (next to christmas, of course.) there is something about going from the carefree, lazy days of summer to the <scheduled, get-up-early, make lunches, make sure all the homework is done, do we have any clean clothes?!, deal with all the papers (oh, all the papers!), where are your shoes?!> first days back at school that is so hard for me to transition into. and with multiple kids in school i’m always afraid i’m going to forget something or drop the ball somewhere.
but this year i’ve made a plan. whether it’s filling out a permission form, or sending money for class t-shirts, it’s all going on this calendar. nothing is too big or too small. it’s on my fridge anyway, so i see it every day…many times a day. and then when i cross it off on my calendar, i don’t have to lay awake at night and wonder if i actually did send in that permission slip, or fill out that form…. hopefully this helps me relax and not stress about the small stuff.
