back to school



today was the first day of school.

-the good mom in me:
-made lunches to bring to school
-dressed the kids in cute outfits
-walked to and from the school four times
-got the kids to school on time
-knew the classroom numbers
-made caramel apples for the teachers
-is going to sign up for the pta

the bad mom in me:
-couldn't find trey's lunch pail and sent him with a grocery bag
-woke up too late to get pictures of the kids going to school in their cute outfits
-doesn't want the kids to ride their bikes to school, because they'd have to wear helmets and have helmet head hair at school
-didn't tell the kids where to meet after school for the pick up
-found mia in tears because she didn't know where her class was and couldn't find me
-didn't care if graphite is poisonous or not, because it looked cuter than a stick
-wants to just put " " marks on all the forms that i've spent the last 4 hours filling out

looking forward to summer vacation.

* update: wikipedia has confirmed that graphite is not poisonous. *

  3. making caramel apples for the teachers is how you get yourself signed up for being in charge of classroom parties and such.

  5. Your "good mom" stuff far surpasses your "bad mom" stuff! Those apples are adorable! I want to steal that idea for next year!
