🎒✏️ Back to School: May the Coffee Be Strong and the Patience Be Longer 🍎🚌
Well friends, it’s that time again—Back to School season. The smell of fresh crayons is in the air, the aisles of Target have been picked clean, and somewhere, a mom is sobbing in the school supply section because her kid’s list says four purple folders with prongs AND pockets (not two, not three—FOUR).
Let’s be honest: summer flew by faster than a lunch break without kids, and now we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of early alarms, mismatched socks, and last-minute lunch-packing acrobatics.
But don’t worry—we’ve got this. 💪
To the parents: May your coffee be stronger than your kid’s argument that "I don’t NEED to go to bed yet!" And remember, if you forgot to label their water bottle, just know it’s currently in a lost-and-found bin making new friends.
To the teachers: You are the real MVPs. You’ve laminated, planned, organized, and color-coded your hearts out. May your dry erase markers never dry out and your class have exactly one student who calls you “Mom” by accident (instead of five).
To the students: You’ve got a clean slate, brand new notebooks, and the opportunity to be kind, curious, and just a little more confident this year. Go get it!
This year, let’s trade perfection for progress, and remember that a bad morning doesn’t mean a bad day. Pack the backpack, snap the first-day photo (with or without tears), and head out the door knowing we’re all just doing our best—and that’s more than enough.
Happy Back to School, everyone! 📚✌️Tag a teacher, a parent, or anyone who needs this reminder (and maybe a nap).
