pretending to be a real teacher

We're gearing up for the start of the school year over here. We had a real summer vacation this year, and it was horrible. Well, not really; we had lots of fun adventures. But overall it was chaotic and unsettling and nobody really felt good most of the time. So I, for one, am looking forward to having a little bit more schedule this fall, beginning this Tuesday. That's when school starts in Bedford, so that's when we're starting too. I'm trying to be all organized, both because of the trauma of the summer and because Harvey is high-school age now, so I guess it counts? He has classes with names now: Biology, Algebra 1, Ancient History... like it's a real thing. Havana said the other day that I always start out school with big plans and they all just fade away by the middle of October. That's not going to happen this year! I have spreadsheets! Um... I'll let you know if a couple days!
