We've been back in school for like two weeks and I'm exhausted. New schedules, supply lists that make no sense, permission slips everywhere, forgot about picture day twice. My calendar is a mess and apparently I'm the one who keeps track of all this now? How do other dads stay organized with multiple kids in different grades? I feel like I'm dropping balls everywhere.
Two weeks in and you're already running on fumes? Wait until October hits. This is the calm before the storm - schedules get even crazier with sports and activities.
Two weeks in and I'm already drowning with three kids' schedules, supply lists, and permission slips. The chaos is real but it does settle down eventually, just gotta survive August and September first.
Dude, permission slips are my nemesis. I swear they're designed to get lost the second they enter our house. Hang in there, it gets more normal after the first month.
Back to school nights, open house, meet the teacher... it's all stacked right at the beginning. Hang in there, it gets easier once everyone settles into the rhythm.
Those new routines hit different when you've got multiple kids with different schedules. I feel like I'm running a logistics operation just to get everyone where they need to be.

The supply lists are insane. I just spent $200 on stuff the school 'desperately needed' and my kids used half of it. It's a conspiracy.
