If your week has looked like this, you know it's fall....

Tuesday morning... 

7:00am: kids wake me by talking very close to my face and asking "What day is today again?  Is today school yet?"
7:02am: Mumble "No, go back to sleep, it's our last chance"
7:03am: I'm not tired, can I watch TV?
7:04am: You can do anything you want if you let me go back to sleep....

8:05am: What time can we go to the school to look at our classroom?
8:06am: We might have to wait for a bit.  (Get cup of coffee)

10:00am: Get everyone in car and head toward school
10:10am: arrive at school to be told that they are not letting kids in to visit this year
10:12am: First anxiety attack of the week, mine of course.  Note hurt look in shy older son's eyes.
10:13am: Second anxiety attack of the week, oldest son wonders aloud why the school doesn't want him to come in
10:14am: Crazy mom peeking in windows of classrooms, pretending it's funny and exciting.  Doing anything she can to act like she's excited for school to start
10:20am: Log in first email complaint to school principle sighting son's tears and anxiety, starting school well
10:21am: Remorse registered after send button is hit.  Oh well.  I guess I'll be THAT mom this year.
10:30am: Hit the grocery store and buy the snacks she has sworn not to buy this year in lieu of healthier options, just to make up for school debaucle this morning

11:00am: Kids eating pizza and slushies at Target.  Whatever.  I already give up.

Good luck to all the first day of schoolers out there this week!
