In the swing or on the swing?

Today was the first FULL day of school.   

And Matt forgot his lunch. 

I guess that means we are officially back in the swing of things. 

Yet somehow I'm not feeling particularly "in the swing."  I feel more like I'm on a swing, but one that is  going slant-ways, desperately pumping my legs and trying to straighten out.  I can't quite figure out why I'm out of sorts, but I'm trying very hard to get on track.   

What can you do?  Keep pumping.   Keep pumping.
