BACK TO SCHOOL? Really?.....ok wait a minute why is time flying? Or is it just me

Well ladies and gentlemen, it has happened again....TIME HAS FLOWN BY and right around the corner for those of us who care, KIDS ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!! NOW.... parents, grand parents, guardians, contain your tears of sadness,  because your little ones are going back to school 
AND  FOR SOME OF YOU,somebody Else's PROBLEM...some of yawl know who YOU ARE
(please don't make me put you AND yo baddass kids ON BLAST, kids bout to be some poor teacher's  HUGE PROBLEM!....
Whatever your situation is with your "CHEER RUN, some of us are less than a week away from the 1st day of school and some of you have a few weeks left, but whatever it is, there is still time to knock some things out to prepare for the new school year. 
First, get organized people.  I have only 1 child but getting ready to go back to school can be a handful  and at times,a challenge. Sitting down and looking at  what was going to be going on in the next couple of months, kinda crazy!  Lacrosse, soccer, track, gymnastics, karate, ballet, girl scouts,or is it brownies? mmodeling. acting,  does she want to play an instrument, does she want to try tap dancing again, swimming, diving, the list goes on and on. Then there's  aftercare,learning a foreign language, tutoring if needed, will she take lunch to school or will  she buy it there, will she walk, or ride the bus?  So many decisions, so little time. 
Here's the thing,  if you remember what it was like when you were a kid, and remember what it was like to NOT have every freaking minute of your day scheduled, you will keep this in mind when deciding WITH YOUR KIDS what it is they want to do.  So many parents are a trip, and a hot mess, trying to make their kid into the next Michael Jordan, or Venus or Serena Williams, or Mike Vick, pushing the child every single minute of their free time trying to RELIVE their youth through the child!
I knew someone once who was like that, a former athlete who DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE PROS, and now his poor children breathe, eat, and sleep athletics.  When I asked him yo do you think they get tired of practicing and rippin and running trying to PLEASE YOU,  he says, "THEY LIKE IT"!!! Well of course they do because if they can make daddy proud then they get that love.  Some people lack common sense and fail to understand basic child psychology.
Not to say there aren't kids out here who DO ENJOY the sport or activity they are involved in ,the key is to find that activity that they naturally drawn to and enjoy.  Nothing sadder than seeing poor kids FORCED TO BE SOMETHING THEIR PARENTS COULD NEVER BE OR DO.
Second, with this economy being as it is, TRASHED.... you know it's bad when the very country you live in has BAD CREDIT!!! (smile)  I wouldn't even say the country's credit is bad, but times are hard out here nothing surprises me.
Where was I? My rambling ass.... My 2nd point was to simply get a grip on what you working with.  In terms of money and extras because most activities your kids want to participate in cost, in some kind of way.  Once you know what's out there available to your child, and they actually have an interest in it, and you can afford it, that's most of the work.  Seems kinda simple doesn't it? Giving this information kinda reminds me of that ONE person in EVERY family who is always making a big TA Do about something, quiets everyone down  and you think..."EWWWW..... he bout to drop some knowledge"  Only to be told some ole OBVIOUS INFORMATION.  If you  are like me, you are quick to say... WE KNEW THAT... HELL.... SIT YO ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE!!! (smile) as usual I digress. 
The moral of this blog is get ready for the upcoming school year, get organized, talk to your kids and find out what interest them, peep your finances, then make your move.  I suppose I could have JUST SAID THAT, and this would have been a very short blog.  BUT..... you know how I do!!!
As always, get life  baby, this ain't no dress rehearsal!!!!
