That's right, school is finally here. The backpacks are packed, the teacher notes are emailed, the supplies are purchased (in triplicate, no less) and the kids will be going to bed soon so they will be ready for their first day of school.
So why do I feel like my head is going to explode from overwhelm?
I mean, I know what I need to do to monitor my kids school stuff. I know how to help them with behavior management techniques. But I'm not sure if it's enough and that worries me.
I know this is normal, but still. What if they fall behind? What if their meds don't work (a real possibility for the old man)? What if I bother the teacher? What if they have social issues? What if, what if, what if?
Now is the true test, when all our skills will be tried and tested. When we have to put our money where our mouths are. When...wait, I don't really have any more played out sports metaphors to insert here.
Basically, I'm a little nervous. The Princess will have homework for the first time. The Old Man will most likely have more homework than I'm used to. I know I can do it, but....still. It's scary!!! :)
