Reasons to hide from school

School has arrived, and although I mostly like it, for three reasons I would consider homeschooling. Here they are in no particular order. 

1. Packing Owen's lunch. Honestly, it is horrible on so many levels. He barely likes anything, I try to limit his wheat intake, and add to that the poor child in his class with life threatening egg, dairy, and peanut allergies, leaving me to wonder if everything that is in his lunchbox could be dangerous. It is awful I tell you, and it just got more awful when I found out today that he needs a healthy snack everyday. The healthy snack is in his lunchbox!! 

2. Bedtime. Curse bedtime in fact. We barely have a routine, getting ready for bed around here mostly consists of me asking kids to get in their pajamas and those children laughing silently to themselves as they just don't. It is quite heroic if they are in bed by 9:30, and please take note I did not say asleep by 9:30 (that is another battle all together). 

3. Getting up.  That is all on that. It is self explanatory. 

Well, since homeschooling is not in the cards, I put the kids to bed last night,  got up this morning, and packed Owen a lunch.  

Not much else I can do I suppose. Carry on!!
