Audit Day?

Nope, they didn’t show.ย  A day of reprieve, I just might make it.ย  Maybe. Halfway through…umm…the seventh grade, and most of the eighth is filed.ย  Sixth isn’t even started.ย  And today’s the fortieth day, which means all kinds of fun report-type stuff… Sigh. To bed!!

News Flash

In hopes of catching any Google searches and such: Start of School. When School begins. New school year. Back to School. Okay, to the news flash–school is IN, people. It’s happening RIGHT NOW. If your offspring is still loafing out back in his cut-offs and blown-out sneaks, run him through Target and get him some
