I am long past the days of school dances and lunch table politics. Or so I thought. This year, for the first time, I will have a high schooler. How the actual hell did that happen? Without warning, she reminded me that she needed me to pick up my sister’s old homecoming dresses so she […]

We’ve had a cold going around the family. Nothing particularly serious, but after my middle child R couldn’t get rid of the cough, I took him in to the doctor. Pneumonia. Freaking Pneumonia. He didn’t even seem particularly ill. I had him stay home from school the next day and he spent the afternoon acting

Back-to-school season is upon us and the kids are all getting ready to be taught against their will. None of them want to learn math, apparently. Parents are rejoicing in a return to schedules and a little sibling separation. There are only so many times you can listen to small humans argue about the best

Walking through Target, buying only the necessities I assure you, I noticed that the store is fully in back-to-school mode. The entire seasonal section is full of notebooks, pens, and matching backpack and lunchbox sets. Around the main store, you see the signs that school is approaching too. There are teacher mugs and lots of
