Today is the first day of the school year for most kids. I know because I was nervous last night, had an uneven sleep, and woke up with that 'first day of school' feeling in the pit of my stomach.
No, I wasn't nervous for my kids. They're both full-timers now and excited about going back. I think this Labour Day-sparked anxiety is a hold-over from my own school days. I think it's just ingrained in me, in Pavlovian fashion. I haven't had a first day of school in about 13 years but I still feel it.
Am I the only guy who went to work worried about his first day at school?
