back to school tip

Fact: Every year as school approaches, I go to the store and buy about 8 poster boards*. Then I stick them behind my dresser.

Fact: When you are the mother of child-like students it is possible that a child will come to you in a panic at 6:04am, desperately pleading, "Mom, I just remembered I have a report due today!  Do you have a poster board?!?!?!?!"

Fact: Said student-child has to get on the bus at 6:44am.

Fact: You can smile serenely, go get a poster board and hand it to said student-child. Even though your eyeballs want to pop out of your head at the absurdity of the situation.

Fact: Go buy some poster board.  Mothers without eyeballs are scary.

*I also buy approx. 400 brown lunch bags and sandwich bags. School is such a money sucker.
