Day 3 is when it all falls apart, amirite?! And it’s just science at this point. 😩

The first week of school isn’t about being perfect, it’s about survival with your sanity semi-intact. 

Truth be told, we’re actually three weeks in over here and I have already missed pickup with the middle school kids and incurred a $52 fine for them being placed in aftercare (not to mention I was picking up a friend’s kid that day as well) AND remembered the school calendar exists and have pinned it to to top of my saved websites. 

Balance, y’all. Balance. 🤭

Tag the other moms moms who are hanging on by a thread in these wee-weeks of school. 

And tell me — which one of these items on the list are you STILL not doing? 👀
