Wow I can’t believe there is only two weeks until school gets back in. And…. I am so not ready for this. I have so much to do I really have no clue where to start. I need to purchase the rest of the kid’s school supplies and clothes. Then I need to label every item we are going to send with them. If I don’t get a move on, the next two weeks will fly by and I will still be complaining of a lot to do. Hopefully this weekend we can finish up on the shopping and then next week I will have time to label everything.
Honestly I can’t believe our weather this summer. Last month all we seemed to have was rain, rain and more rain. Well when the month of July left us, so did the rain. So far the month of August has been hot!! And when I say hot, I mean brutally hot! For the past few days we have been enjoying sunshine. But we have also been subject to +35 degree temperatures. I really don’t know why we can’t have something in the middle. Oh well, this sunshine sure is better than all the rain we were having so I guess I won’t moan and complain too much.
The kids will be back in school in less than four weeks and to say that I’m not ready for this big day is a huge understatement. My daughter will be headed off to middle school (grade 6) and my son will be back at his elementary school (grade 4). And I have nothing bought. I mean, not even a pencil. I have my son’s school list but not my daughter’s. But I pretty much can guess what she is going to need. So this weekend my husband and I will be going out to do some shopping. I realize I have four weeks to do this, but time keeps marching on.
Yes guys I think it’s finally going to happen. Although the camping season started here on May 15th, so far this summer we have been unable to go. Either the weather was pretty crappy, my husband had to work or one of the kids was sick. But it looks good to go for this weekend. My husband does have to work tomorrow morning. But after he gets home we will head out to the camp site. Although we will only be able to go for one night, it will still be great to get away. Weatherman, please don’t let us down!
To say my son was not impressed with life this weekend, would be a mild understatement. On Friday his grandfather was supposed to drop by with his and his sister’s birthday cards. Well he didn’t and didn’t even call him to say he wasn’t coming. Then we were unable to go camping this weekend. Not because of the weather this time, but because his sister was sick the entire weekend. And finally his older brother was supposed to come home for a visit. Well he didn’t and also didn’t call or e-mail to say he wasn’t coming or the reasons why. So my little fellow had quite a few disappointments this weekend. We did try to make it up to him, but you could tell that he was still bothered by the weekend’s events. Hopefully he doesn’t have a disappointing weekend like this one ever again.
