Do you find yourself constantly checking the calendar, praying for September 1st to hurry up? Are you walking around in a daze of exhaustion, despite having had five cups of coffee? Or has your bank card bounced more times that you care to think about?
If you have answered yes to any of these, then you have reached the stage of the summer when you are TOTALLY ready for back-to-school time...
The following ten things are also signs it's time for school to start!
1. You’ve been to the park twice today
And are seriously considering making it three times.
2. Your credit card was declined
Three times.
3. You finished your monthly ration of coffee on Wednesday night
And still feel exhausted...
4. You play hide and seek just to have some time to yourself
And find the most obscure place that you KNOW your kids won’t find!
5. You have run out of clean clothes
Their uniform is looking pretty good right about now.
6. You find yourself deciding between coffee and wine at lunchtime
Sometimes it’s coffee... usually it’s wine.
7. You’ve used up all your babysitting IOUs
For the YEAR.
8. You found yourself hiding in the hot press just to get some peace
It’s nice and cosy in there, at least...
9. You give your kids the remote control
And don’t care if they’re still sitting there three hours later.
10. You found your dog hiding behind the shed
After the kids insisted on playing dress-up with him.
