Woo Hoo! It’s Back-to-School Monday!! Here is what my house looked like this morning:
Can you relate?
Do you remember my post last week about who you might meet at your child’s school orientation? Well – after many days of orientations last week, I had to add a couple more Moms you just might meet at your orientation. These are courtesy of my amazing friend from Three Monkeez – I was cracking up!
How about Political Mom:
She works the room like she’s running for office. Kissing babies, shaking hands, trying to get a leg up somehow to make sure her child gets offered THE scholarship because of her position in the crowd.
Then there’s Saint Mom:
She’s the one that went on a mission trip this summer digging wells in a 3rd world country so unfortunate children could have drinking water while you sat your ass in a lounge chair on some beach sipping frozen drinks. I do my part- I tipped him.
And of course there’s Religious Mom:
She’s a classic- best served early in the morning to try and save your soul from the fires of damnation. No one is more “Christian” than her and her beautiful cherubs. Did I mention that her daughter is the one with an outfit in her backpack to change after she leaves the house and has a “reputation” at school but the mom is oblivious.
Enjoy your quiet and it is okay to go back to bed now … I (I mean YOU) deserve it!
Hope your life is more quiet house heaven than hectic summer havoc!

Haha I WILL be going back to bed after the 7:15 bus comes for the first time in two weeks!!!

Isn’t going back to bed the first day THE BEST?! I haven’t slept so soundly in weeks. It was heaven!
Hi there–as a teacher (school begins again in 2 weeks–yikes!) your “moms you meet at orientation” post caught my eye. I have had every one of those ladies as a parent volunteer in my room at some point or another! Too funny
Just wanted to say thanks for the laugh–I am forwarding this link on to sooooo many teacher friends.
I absolutely love your colors and graphics (am I using the right term there?) The look of your blog is very appealing–a new fan, Jill
Yay! I am so happy to have a new fan! Thanks Jill! I don’t know how you teachers do it … you are my heroes! I only have to put up with these crazy mom’s at orientation – you have to deal with them all year. I bow down to you.
What are some of these women thinking?
I really appreciate you passing my post on to your teacher friends and your compliment on my colors and graphics (yep – those are the right terms) made my day! See you again soon!
