'Here's a Lunchable and a Pop-Tart and good luck': 25 Back-to-school memes for parents dreading waking their kids up early

Back to school is an incredibly ripe time. We're all locking in in a true way. Summer is for fun and sunshine, not for serious work. But as soon as the leaves start to turn, then we start to get a little more studious. We're sharpening our pencils and buying new notebooks. We're filling up our backpacks with new pens. And as parents, we're getting ready for a hectic year. We're still getting used to waking up our kids early and they're not used to it either. They hate it even more than you do. 

You're remembering how much of a scramble it is to get them ready in the morning, and all your plans for making elaborate breakfasts are going out the window. You'll be happy if they just get in the car on time. But on the other hand, you're enjoying the little bit of free time that comes with not having to entertain them all day long. But on the other other hand, you're remembering just how hard it is to help them with their homework, and it's only getting harder.
