Moms Talk: How to Get Back in the School Year Routine
Does the end of summer always sneak up on you and your family? Do your kids struggle and fight to get up early in the first two weeks of school?
You're not alone. Here's some advice from Catonsville moms on how to get back in the routine.
"It’s 90 degrees outside. I’m in shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops. But the siren sound of fall calls. I can’t escape the signs. Everywhere I look they scream, 'Back to school savings! Load up on school supplies! Fall sale! Get your supplies before they’re gone!'
While procuring school supplies is indeed important, there is mental prep as well. One thing we do to psych up for the year is to celebrate with a special back-to-school dinner. We’ve been doing this for a couple years now after I saw a post on the Nie Nie Dialogues . I found the idea so charming that I wanted to make it one of our family traditions as well.
Two nights before the first day of school, we break out the fancy plates, have a special meal complete with a toast to the new year ahead with sparkling cider. After dinner, we discuss what things we most look forward to learning that year. I think it helps reframe the potential dread and anxiety that often comes with a new school year into something exciting and happy. I must admit, it has become one of my favorite celebrations of the year."

"As with most seasonal changes, there’s ambivalence in the Worthington family about the start of school. The kiddos don’t want to go back, but they also eagerly await the mail starting Aug. 1, to see when their schedules will arrive. They do love the back-to-school shopping trip, too – just like I used to back when I was a kid, before I was the parent, trying to keep track of the kids in Target and Staples, as well as supplies and the costs! Yippee!
Anywho, my back-to-school tip does not involve shopping (you’re welcome), but mornings. If your children have gotten used to sleeping in, and they are now facing the prospect of having to wakeup at 6 a.m., like my high-schooler is, I’d recommend a gradual approach.
Maybe two weeks before school starts, wake them up a little earlier each day – by about 15 minutes. I don’t think this needs to be super-regimented, and it can even just involve making noise in the house earlier each day. This will hopefully also have the effect of them being able to gradually fall asleep earlier at night, too. They might naturally have a hard time falling asleep the night before school, and this problem is even worse if they’ve only woken up 10 hours earlier!

A couple sundays ago, i used my flight lesson coupon & went & flew a cessna 172R skyhawk! it was AWESOME. the instructor taught me the gauges & gave me a bit of an idea how things go while on the ground, then i did the major pre-flight checklist, & with little physical assistance i taxied, took off, gained altitude, banked left & right, descended, did a touch-&-go landing, circled back, landed, & taxied back to park. the coupon covered a passenger, so & a kind-of-scary video of the touch-&-go. i say that because joe was shaking the camera a LOT (you'll notice he was holding it in the wrong orientation, too - what a pain in the ass it was to rotate & zoom the mp4, don't even ask), so it looks a lot rougher than it was. that's not to say it was an A+ maneuver - it was very windy & tough to control the plane with the propeller so slow, & you'll see my moment of "HEY OKAY LET'S GO TO THE LEFT FOR NO GOOD REASON!"... but i did properly pull up the nose. :) my second landing was less windy & much smoother.
