Awakenings - Getting Closer to School Time !!

Aug. 1, 2007 - Getting Closer to School Time !!

Don't mind me for bragging a bit, but I feel soooo accomplished today! :) We could start up with school full-time tomorrow if we wanted to. I have all the kids' records & papers, from this past year, filed and put away. I finished the last of that this morning. Everyone's notebooks are ready to go. All of the books I ordered are now on the shelves, and those we won't be using any longer (or at least for this year) are put away. The supplies are stocked up- glue, pencils, colored pencils, erasers, paper, etc.

I feel ready. I would start tomorrow if I could. The kids most certainly disagree. With temps in the 90's this week, going to the pool is the #1 priority for them right now! They want their last two weeks of summer. And in all honesty, I do really need those weeks too. I have a list of household things to get done before we start up full-time again or that list will still be on my desk at the start of next summer.

I promised myself at the start of school last August that I would not be scrambling with getting ready for school in August. I would not put it at the end of my to-do list. The school preparation would come first. Whoo hoo! I kept my promise! Now if I can get the rest of my list accomplished I will really be doing good! (Painting the kids' rooms has been on my list since we moved in two years ago) This year I actually went and bought the paint, so I do have the incentive to get it done staring at me each morning on the kitchen floor. I won't want to move those gallons to wash the floor too many times.

Well, I am off to go get my daughter from work at the farm stand. Then we're going to take a quick trek to the park so I can walk at least one time around the track, and the boys want to fish for a bit. Tonight, after dinner, we'll then finish up the last of the books we have to read for the summer reading program at the library.
