the real first day of school

Last Monday was the Official First Day of school for Baduka, but I feel like today actually is since he won't be dismissed at 11 and it's back to the usual 1:30. Early dismissal is the most annoying thing. By the time I get everyone up, dressed, car seated, to school, and back, it's 10:30 and I'm doing it all over again. I got not a single thing accomplished last week, well except for Friday, when I managed to kill my altinator (alternater?) (I don't know, I'm a girl, ha) in the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru. Such a fantastic experience. Daddy and Nana to the rescue, because I was legit having a panic attack at the thought of being late for pick-up.

When Baduka started school last year, I was so sad to have him gone all day, now I'm sitting outside of the school a half hour early, because he is driving me insane. All summer break long I feel like the only things I did with him were, chase him down the hallway and out of the kitchen. The kid cannot be entertained or contained. I really wonder how school accomplishes it, because I've seen the classroom. We own the same toys, we have practically the same number of kids. Are they also running down the hallway 47 times a day yelling, "Get back here!" "You're driving me bananas!" "Stop climbing everything!" "It's official, I'm drinking dinner!" ??

If that's the case, maybe I should start sending weekly, Thank You For Putting Up With My Maniac presents. Do liquor stores sell gift cards?
