Back-to-school blues aggravated by the fact that I had to take care of my first-grader’s son’s stuff first. Forced him to empty his bag, clear the staples and whatnot, sharpen his colour pencils and generally get everything in order. But before I could yield to rest, I had to rush to the photography studio to print out a photo of my four-year-old daughter. Upon reaching home, I had to help her make a photo frame so that she could submit her home project. Only then could I get ready for school.
