Welcome back, reality.

Today is the day we've all been waiting for.  That's right, the kiddos are back in school!  This is an exceptionally exciting day for all of us parents who have been blessed with extra time over Christmas break with our kids, only to find out that we don't entertain them as well as we used to.  What happened?  And I feel like the kids know this too.  This might be because when I went to pick my son up from daycare yesterday he pointed his star tipped wand at me and said, "GET OUT OF MY CLASS!!!!" Oh, shit!  I guess he felt the same way as I did over break when he looked at me pitifully, as if I had no clue how to make his day go exactly the way that those amazing teachers do at school. 

We called yesterday the test run for back to school, because although we all got up and got both kids ready for school, only one school was in session and it was not my daughter's.  Ha!  Jokes on us.  It was a good day, really anyway. After finding the elementary school closed, my husband and daughter watched cartoons and I cleaned up the house.  And I forced my daughter to clean her hurricane disaster area as well.  Which was fun.  I always enjoy a good yell fest and debate over why the room should or shouldn't be cleaned.  Back to reality people.  Back to reality.  Grandma isn't here anymore kids...Mommy will still kick your ass.  Get that damn room cleaned up!  You are almost 5 years old...you know how to put your toys into your toybox!  I am still amazed every time she tells me she can't do something as simple as putting away her jewelry.  Kid, you read on a 4th grade level and you can't figure out how to open a jewelry box???  What in the hell is going on here?  It is frustrating in the way that when you're putting on eyeliner and it keeps smudging and you feel completely incompetent, even though you've been putting on eyeliner for over 10 years now. 


So here I am, back to doing what I do best, paperwork, school, blogging, and entertaining myself.  I think I'm gonna hit up Victoria's Secret today and try to figure out just how she manages to keep it.  Have a great one!
