Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 26, 2023

Yea Wanda the daycare is reopening.

It is gratifying to see how happy Wanda is that her children are furthering their educations!!

So day camp didn’t work out?

New grade, new teacher and more homework.

How well I remember. But I admit to missing having the kids home.

I never cared for ‘back to school’. I always enjoyed being with my kid. When his dorm closed during covid and he moved back from college during the shutdown, I was thrilled to have the whole family home for 6 months.

Yep, an end to the “I’m bored” and offering a dozen or more activity suggestions that are all turned down followed by another “II’m bored” comment.

Wanda could use the break.

Unless you are a teacher!

Wren will still be at home.

I love my kids … … to get an education.

I love my kids … … to get back with their friends at school.

I love my kids … … to get out and be out of the house so I can get a break and recover from my kids – so that I can love my kids even more.

Yup! School starts this Monday where I live.

Pick-me-up before they go-go!!

As a commuter, I hate those 3 little words. I also enjoy being able to spend more time with my kids.

Ah yes, a few months where Wanda will not feel guilty or feel the need to tell the kids that “Mommy is busying right now, go play in traffic.”

Back-rubs-now.

Anyone remember the old Staples commercial that starts out with “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” music, a parent joyfully pushing the shopping cart, and the kids slowly walking behind, then the tagline – It’s back to school time, get your supplies here? Always made me laugh!

That did it.

As a former teacher. If you don’t want to be around your own kids. How can you expect the teacher to want to be around your kids.

Magic words parents like, only parents need to back up the teacher. Our schools started 15th of August, just last week parents will receive either a phone call or letter about a fight among high school students. At least no weapons involved.

I expected “lets eat out”

Our Moms birthday was Sept 5 the day the 5 of kids would start the new school year. She said that best present we could get her.

you know i know kids can be little sob’s pretty regularly but that "yay for school so I don’t have to be responsible for the beings I created "attitude just always annoyed me

Haha! XD
