It's total insanity here this morning getting ready for eighth grade

Hey fellas let’s get our gear ready for first day of eighth grade. Pack gym clothes sneakers and gym bag have that gear pre staged. Let’s get the binders organized markers pencils notebooks. Now we have ran across dad I can’t find flash drive that you bought me. Ok anybody know what I did with my gym shorts from last year the boys have to wear school gym outfits green shorts white t shirt. What is wrong with the shorts we ordered you two weeks ago they’re to loose well why didn’t you tell us that they were loose well I forgot to tell you. We asked you if they fit the day you were trying them on so is both sets to big uh yea they’re to big.

My wife gets involved do not take those towels to school for gym they’re the good bath towels. As then both boys pull out the good bath towels from their gym bags my wife looks at me 😂. Dad where is our body wash and deodorant I am glad we’re doing this today.

Then I was gonna do Salisbury steaks mashed potatoes for dinner their call for back school dinner. Then that has changed to the diner fried chicken meatloaf buffet to now hey let’s do Mexican. Has anybody seen my house key no when is last time you had it. I remember having it last day of school mom I told you I do not need powder in my gym bag. My wife’s reply that is your father. I jump in gotta keep the boys dry the (testicles ) after a shower you don’t need jock itch.

And dad is enjoying it every moment

Lots of chaos the first week, always! Every year the school supply list seemed like it got longer!

Good luck to the boys for a great school year ahead!
