📚 PARENTS’ BACK TO SCHOOL COUNTDOWN: 5 Weekdays Left! 😅
(Or as we call it, “Operation Get the Kids Out the Door”) 🚪

Monday:
Children believe they still have all the time in the world to enjoy all night video games and conversations with friends til 4am. Spoiler: they DON'T. 🫩 😟

Tuesday:
You start setting the alarm clock for a practice run. “Alright get up it's time for school, I'm just practicing!” children mad " Man stop playing." ⏰ 🎶 😠

Wednesday:
You’re meal prepping early to get a head start “Don't touch these, this is your lunch for school?” children looking at you like you're crazy. 🥪😳

Thursday:
You find yourself doing last-minute school supply runs... at 8 PM... to Walmart... AGAIN making sure you have everything so the children won't have an excuse. 📝🎒

Friday:
Parents " Go and lay your clothes out for school next week." Children stomping to their rooms because they know deep down inside you are dancing with joy! 👚👖👟

Parents, the countdown is on!💃🏽🕺🏽
But hey, here’s to the glorious return of predictable schedules, actual conversations, and peaceful dinners (fingers crossed).
