Back to school…blah

Ok, so I somehow thought we started school this Tuesday…
that was until I got an automated call on Friday saying “See you on MONDAY”
WHAT?!
It’s only one day difference but that one day make a big difference when said teen who’s returning to high school has been in The Keys since Thursday and is getting back any minute now.
Now we have to rush, get whatever else is needed.

I can’t think of back to school without Billy Madison so, of course I’ve got the Adam Sandler clip of the “Back to School” song from Billy Madison here.
Yes, I do love pretty much every Adam Sandler movie made.
And this is by far the funniest most enjoyable thing that’s going to be school related for at least the first few weeks of school.

With the start of school, that means I now get to show people how to drive, drat I cant this year I have Paul Bange Roofing signs on my car, I have to behave now dodge the soccer moms driving huge SUV’s they don’t know how to maneuver and the other parents who think that their child is the most important and in their mad dash to school they’ll gladly run you over, block you in traffic, honk at you repeatedly when it’s obvious there’s no place to go…not to mention the newly licensed teens who are now driving to school who you really have to watch out for on the road since they truly have no clue….oh how I loathe the morning drop offs and afternoon pick ups.

Then lets bring the onslaught of paperwork to be filled out.
The over crowded cafeteria that you can only hope your child actually gets to eat during the day or they’ll be famished by the time 230 rolls around after going from 7 a.m. without any nourishment.
Your child having to learn a new schedule, learn their way around the school, deal with the pressures of high school.
Not fun.
I know I would never survive high school today.
There’s no way.
Lest I forget the fact that every year when school starts, we also seem to have a “H” brewing nearby and of course why would this year be any different?
Though, as much as it’d be great for business for Paul Bange Roofing, I’d prefer Irene go dissipate somewhere!

So, tomorrow we begin a new chapter…10th grade.
Hopefully, I won’t tweet too many complaints of idiocy in traffic every morning and afternoon.
I enjoyed the last year of no trips to school, but time to do it again.
Shoot, if my daughter can survive high school surely I can survive the traffic getting her to and from there right? one can hope!

Question of the day
Have your kids started school yet?
