Can you feel the excitement in the air? It has got more POP than fireworks on the 4th of July, and the anticipation rivals that going-to-bed-on-Christmas-Eve feeling.
That’s right, my friends. It’s BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! (Oh. Not everyone gets THIS excited for B2S? Weird.)
In keeping with my past tradition for vacation season or during the holidays, I thought I would share some humorous hacks for all things Back-to-School.
Grab your number two pencils and crisp new notebooks. Get ready to take some notes because these hacks will undoubtedly revolutionize your back-to-school experience. (Actually, they probably won’t. But hopefully they do make you grin!)
1. One thing I really struggle with regarding back-to-school is getting the kids in a routine, especially when it comes to earlier bedtime and waking up in time for school. It’s chaotic and stressful and I don’t want to deal with this, especially when my spouse is deployed or TDY. Help!
Hack: I understand your struggle. I recommend you treat getting back in the routine similar to a major military mission, such as D-Day. Make a plan, then execute and adapt. Do what it takes. If you don’t want to spend the dollar bills to buy black-out curtains, go ahead and spray paint your windows black. I’m sure your landlord won’t mind. For every minute your kids fight going to bed, make them do five push-ups. (It might not get them into bed faster, but at least they will be ripped). If you have surround sound, program Reveille to blast at 0600 every morning. Sure, your kids might be angry, but at least they will be awake. #Winning
