Why Is It...

That when school starts... My normally happy, go lucky smart children fall prey to these hair- pulling "grrr" questions? Why do they let...

• Drama happen in all situations?
• Laziness reign over homework?
• Texting or little TV bring about the zombies in them?
• TV privileges become a battleground?
• Mommy doing homework or housework, NOT be seen as a quiet zone?
• Forgetfulness as a viable defense?
• Bedtime a painful chore?
• Their big brains turn to mush over chores?

Don't get me wrong, it all gets sorted out after a few weeks, but until then no matter how organized we are in getting ready for school, they go through so much whacked out personal routine that I literally lock myself in the bathroom and scream!

It's not helping that between the two opposing schedules of Mr. Man's work shift and school, I am back to being a literal insomniac again. I caught maybe an hour the last 5 days, of zzzz's... Yes, people, I am cranky!

If you've never gone through these, congratulations! As for me, it is an annual ritual. *sigh*
