NO PEANUT BUTTER! NO PEANUT ANYTHING! NO NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO!
Three trips to Staples (and one last week, too).
Label maker! Resulting, probably temporary, sense of calm and organization.
Campaign to pry information from children about what happened at school relaunched. Children proving wilier than ever. Learned little.
School drop off in a four-dimensional craze of children. Fourth grader disappears immediately. First grader clings to my hand. Mayor Taveras visiting. Trying to talk education with him and say hi to first grade teacher at the same time. Hugs and kisses and handshakes with parent and teacher and kid friends. So good to see everyone.
Homework. Realization that middle kid has apparently forgotten how to form legible letters over the summer. Realization that oldest kid has somehow figured out that writing clearly is a useful skill. Realization that there is hope.
No bus passes. No idea if/when they may be bestowed. Resulting drama brewing?
PAC meetings. Meetings meetings meetings. PTO meetings next week. All the meetings.
Kids tired, voluntarily going to bed early. I am right there with them.
