God I hate his school's lack of organization. Total clusterfuck. No one outside helping to answer questions or get the kids lined up; 5 minutes late opening the doors; no identification that they are with the school. Every year, the same mess.
None of it means a damn thing.

Big day here as well, though without littles. Just have to survive the next three hours without fucking up.
In honor of the occasion, head to toe in unrelenting black.
Wasn't on purpose.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, mac!! I was walking by my local elementary school over the weekend, and they had a humdred signs up about which class is supposed to stand where and which door they are supposed to go in. There's also a "Drug Free School Zone" sign with graffiti on it: "Yeah right!"

“Not dead yet!”
It's amazing to me, the concept of actually sending kids back to school after Labor Day.
Except for my own kindergarten year, I've never experienced school starting post-Labor Day. Throughout my school years, it was the week before and until two years ago, the schools in this area had actually been starting the first week of August. Now they've shifted back to the last full week of August instead. Thank goodness.

Now I have to hide in my office until my boss talks to Big Boss about my leaving. Am scared!

Our wings are not tired.
Good luck to all having their first day of school. We're in the 4th week. They started 8/18 this year. Stupid to start so early, but we seem powerless to change. Apparently the all important FCAT test is held on a fixed date so they want to get the kiddies started as early as possible to prepare. Grrr

Growing up in the Northeast, we *never* went back until after Labor Day. The first time the kids had to go back before, I was completely thrown.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I started on the day after labor day until graduate school, no matter what school I was in -- I was convinced as a kid that it was the Official First Day everywhere and for all time. And even though I've known better for a long time now, it still just feels wrong when it's any other day.
