They are hoping to meet new friends, are excited for new challenges, and are looking forward to getting back in to a routine.  The truth is, most kids want to go back to school, and have few fears or reservations about the beginning of the school year.\n<!--more-->\nFor Stapleton parents, it is a completely different ball game.  Stapleton moms are nervous about a series of things including but not limited to:\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Am I the prettiest mom in the class?<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Will I be the most active mom in the class?<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Will the other kids wish I was their mom?<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Will me being around a lot help my child get more friends?<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Will our family donate the most money and time to the school?<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Will I have prepared my child to do the best in the class?<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Will my child be the best dressed in the class?<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\nThese are stressful things for a parent to go through, and Westerly Creek mom Kamie Alger had a very difficult first week of school.  \u201cI realized that Sarah Asbee was in my class,\u201d said Alger.  \u201cEveryone knows that Sarah does a lot for the school, is pretty, and on top of that, she is actually nice.  I heard she is funny, too.\u201d  Alger is not ready to hand over the title of \u201cclass mom of the year\u201d to Asbee, but acknowledges taking that title is going to be a challenge.  \u201cI mean, she brings cupcakes to almost everything, has the best birthday parties, and on top of that, <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapletonion-creating-top-mom-in-stapleton-bracket-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">looks great in a swimsuit<\/a>\u201d\nAlger says that she is coping with her new \u201cclassmate\u201d and may try to be friends with her.  \u201cI still want what\u2019s best for the school,\u201d said Alger.  \u201cIf we can work together to help the school be successful, that\u2019s great.  In the end, let the best mom win.\u201d  Stapleton moms think they are always being judged a little bit.  This couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.  They are always being judged a lot.  Best of success to all the Stapleton moms in the upcoming school year.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3949","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-62","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
