new school blues
school starts september 3. paul has a backpack with tornado patches on it, a lunchbox with a spider on it, a new pair of navy blue pants, six new polo shirts (two white, four light blue), new socks, new underwear, a new navy blue jacket just like daddy's, a new pair of shoes just like grandpa's, assorted name labels -- and two parents who are silently freaking out about the idea of kindergarten. god help us all.
