Well, actually, school started for Wolfgang last week, but it was only one kid, and he's 13 so he's pretty much on his own, anyway. School starts for the younger two tomorrow.
And I'm ready. Yes, I am.
This year looks like this: three boys, three different schools.
Last year, I took the approach of winging it - which meant that I never got any forms in on time, never remembered to take vacation or conference days off from work and found out about field trips when the kids got home with souvenirs that other pitying parents bought for them.
In some ways, it was an experiment. How much do I really need to pay attention?
More than I did, it turned out.
So, this year, I'm ready. Yes, I am.
I bought a white board.
It will solve all my problems. I drew a calendar on it and started to organize September. It's already got vacation days, open houses, guitar lessons, cross country practice, time capsule deadlines - the whole kit and caboodle.
I'm on it, man.
At least for this, the last day of summer, the night before the first day of school.
Will it work? Who the hell knows. But at least I'm trying.
