So as most of you know, I am mom to three of the baddest brothers amazing young men. My oldest is preparing for his Junior year in high school (cue countdown to college) and the clones are gearing up for Kindergarten. Life will be interesting to say the least around here.
But, luckily for me, they don’t start school on the same day so I get to have a best day ever. TWICE!!!! Now as every mother is aware, the first day of school is THE best day of the year next to mani/pedi day. And cake day, which really is any day that ends in ‘y’!
So in celebration of the first day of school, I think I will treat myself to a mimosa breakfast. And a new purse. And maybe an outfit. Oh, oh oh, and some cake….yes, cake…. Twice.
What are some of your first day of school rituals? Do you hang out with the other moms after drop off or just go back to work/home with that Cheshire Cat grin on your face? Tell me all about it. I have two, count ’em TWO (yay me!), first day of school celebrations to plan…
I like to make sure my youngest child gets dropped off at least the first year and she is starting 8th grade. I have plenty of coffee for the day at had to help with the trials of getting her to the church er um school on time.
Then I also have a half start day for a senior who lives with her mom! This will be an interesting year for both my girls. Not forgetting how interesting it will be for all the parents.
Thanks to my glorious Super Bestie Captain Hysterical I have a new Keurig machine to help me stay calm this year with two graduations….
Ahhh Coffee…. oh and yes I must say I am jealous I will not get cake at either first days… humphf
haha you are hyserical! The clones rotfl! No rituals for me. First day for me will be twice too. However I still have one left home with me. So I can use a first day 3 times!
On the first day of school, I'd love to drop off the kids, hit a pancake joint, come home and get in my jacuzzi, and SLEEP for the rest of the day. Uninterrupted, undisturbed, just comatose. Until 3:00. 🙂
I think double cake day sounds like a great idea 🙂 I don't have a first day of school ritual yet, but I'm guessing mine will include cake also 🙂
