This seems so far off, but from what everyone tells us it will be here faster than we could imagine.

First Day of School
by Elisa
Tue Sep 05, 2006 at 01:00:11 PM PDTI was the nervous one. Ari was excited to start school, even jumping out of bed to get dressed.
But these were my fears in no particular order: that I would oversleep -- I rely on my internal clock to get up -- that he would poop in his pants at school (he is not potty-trained), that he would cry, that a million things would go wrong. Nothing came to pass, except that I forgot to pack a drink with his lunch. I stuck around for story time, distracted him with the trains and then ran off to Whole Foods.
My small talk with the cashier while I loaded the conveyor with like 20 kid-sized boxes of juice: "I forgot to pack my kid's drink."
Cashier: "I see that."
Me: "Are the other moms this clueless?"
Cashier: "I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. At least your kid's juice is organic!"
