Mother of the Year

This week has been a mad rush to get the kids ready for going back to school.

If I were a more prepared parent, the supplies would have been purchased weeks ago, the backpacks organized, the clothes acquired a few at a time all through the summer, and my little darlings would be back on a more normal sleeping and waking schedule.

As it stands, Katie still doesn't have supplies or clothes, Joseph only has clothes because my mom took him shopping yesterday, and I've decided to let them stay up as long as they want until they figure out on their own how much it sucks to have to get up early when you didn't go to bed until 2. Experience is the best teacher, right?

Their teachers are going to love me.
