Show LAKESIDEYOUTH Lakeside Review Tuesday, August 25, 1992 5 Mofieirs preparing lor firsit day of school By JaNAE FRANCIS Standard-Examine- ,1 r correspondent Its almost as exciting as Christmas morning, although they wont admit it. Monday morning children from all over Davis County will be waking up for their first day of school following summer vacation. Theyll quickly gather around the breakfast table awake and smiling. Well, unless they are having a bad shoe day. Sometimes its hard to get those untied laces to hang down just right. Mom, catching the spirit of the occasion, will be fixing that special first-da- y breakfast to dedicate the event. Then shell kiss them good-by- e with a certain sadness not because her children are growing up, but because she knows morn-- ! ings for the rest of the year are all down hill from there. Many mothers spend the entire summer looking for sales and taking inventory. Mothers are learning that as styles be-- j come more and more important, the shopping becomes continually more diffi-- ; cult. I thought I had it down to a science until they realized there were children in the world who got to pick their clothes out, said Mickey Adams of West Point. Adams said maping out clothes budgets and planning is a big part of having chil-- I dren ready for school. The experienced mother of seven looks forward to a relatively easy year as she only has four children and a foster child in school this year. Janie Vankomen, who lives close by, said she has scores of lost shoes and library books to look forward to in mornings to come. Finding shoes has gotten to be a major problem, said the mother of 10, who has six children in school this year. She tries to have a shoe check every night before school. There has been many a day with a kid running out to the bus with one shoe in their hand and the other who knows where, she said. Vankomen said last year one son continually missed the bus trying to untie his shoes just right before going out. One s , i ; ; t j f i ; j ; eventful day, her husband Robert carried the boy to the bus as he screamed to the top of his lungs, holding onto his shoes by the laces. Breakfast in this home will be in shifts with high schoolers Rachel and Elizabeth rising and eating first. They are the yuppies of the home and will probably eat cereal. Nothing some fruit and high-fibwith any fat grams here, Vankomen said. Rachel and Elizabeth wilt make sure Matthew and Sarah, their junior high-age- d siblings, are up. These two will take a rolled-u- p pancake. Theyre too busy primping to take a lot of time for breakfast. Matthew and Sarah then wake Mark and Mary, third and first graders. Breakfast is a big event for this last two. They want to eat well to keep going all re day long. Then their mother will fix their hair and find their shoes. Vankomen said even with this routine, that has become a real science, she admits hers is not the most organized of households. She looks to Clint and Cindy Checkmeyer, neighbors who thrive on having a regimented routine. This year the six Checkmeyer children from first to 11th grade still at home will be up before 5 a.m. On most mornings they will shower, practice their musical instruments, eat together and do their chores before leaving for school. Cindy Checkmeyer said mothers usually learn organization tricks in self defense. But she said she is lucky for the most part because her children are good. She said the trick is delegation. Her children take turns in the food preparation chores each morning. She said this is a key for her having time to get everything done. The same is true for Kathy Williams of South Weber. A counselor at Northridge High School, Williams is looking forward to going to the same school every day with two of her five school-age- d children. But at the same time she said her being a working mother has its challenges for the whole family. It seems like we all have to work together, working around everyone taking a ROBERT Year-roun- BOUNTIFUL Davis County Mental Health will be offering classes in assertive training for teenagfor preteens this ers and d self-estee-m Wednesday, Aug. 26: Spaghetti wmeat sauce, tossed 1 i fall. salad, seasoned bread sticks, chilled pears, chocolate cake wchocolate icing, milk.
