As you can probably tell since I have been neglecting my blog(s)!!
I'm still fighting whatever freakin' bug I caught!! I guess it had to be one to make up for all this time that I haven't been sick.
So, school, yes, it surely has begun! The night before the first day Mom Jr. and Jr. had a hard time going to sleep. Mom Jr. came to my room and said "I just can't believe I go back to school tomorrow!""Yes you do so go read for a while and go to sleep". A few minutes after she went back to her room Jr. came walking in with a big smile "I can't fall asleep I keep thinking about school tomorrow!" "I know, why don't you get a book and go read in your room and then go to sleep". Off he went, I am now starting to fall asleep and then right before my eyes close all the way I can see this stick figure walking towards my room (of course from my side of the bed I can see directly down the hallway!). My eyes pop open quickly (you know just in case it's a ghost or something creepy like that). Jr. is looking at me, "I still can't fall asleep I just keep thinking about school tomorrow" "Well, just take a deep breath and try to relax, you can leave your light on and I'll turn it off in a little bit". He walks back to his room (this is how I can tell he's growing up, usually he would've just stood there until I lost my patience and got up to lead him back to his room as he would start to cry and wake up everyone else. Thank goodness, I really hope that's done with).
So now I'm wide awake once more, I watch T.V. until about 11:00 and then quietly make my way over to the boys room and turn the light off. I was not going to attempt any time earlier just in case he was awake.
In the morning I make my way downstairs and start their lunch, the boys come down fully dressed. Hmmm, has to be just first day excitement because normally they'd still be in their pajamas. I end up making them pancakes with peach slices and a glass of milk.
We get to school, the place is unbelievably packed with cars everywhere (especially now because there are no more school busses) so we ended up parking down the street from the school (yes, I know time to use those bikes like I had planned to).
We walk onto the campus together and as I'm walking with them to their classes Mom Jr. goes off on her own way. Okay, well "Bye" she says bye and off she goes. I continue on with the boys and get stopped by some Moms. I talked to them for a minute and turn around to see my boys have now left me too. It's just me and J........
We decide to walk over to see the boys classes, they're both in their, we walk over to them, say our good byes, and leave.
J and I come home, a day to ourselves, hmmm, I'm almost tempted to just sit in silence as J plays and watches his shows......
Then my mind starts going, I need to shampoo the couch, the recliner chairs, and the carpet (one last time, before we rip it out of here!), I need to go to one store for fruits and veggies, another for the other food items, and another for cleaning items (hey, it's all about the best items for my family at the best prices I can get!!), my SUV really needs to be washed, I also need to pick up around the house...........
All this is traveling through my mind as I sit on the couch unable to actually get up and move. I'm still not feeling well, although I know my time is limited. I manage to get the shopping done and from there I figure I'll just do what I can, after all it is just the first day of school.
Time to pick up the kids, they are all smiles, love their classes, they are very excited...hmmm, maybe this year is going to be great!!!
Filled out all the same paperwork I fill out every year for them, same info. just another year. We had back to school night, Daddy and I split up for the boys classes, I took J's and he took Jr.'s and then we went together to Mom Jr.'s. I dropped them off and went to pick up Mom Jr. at dance from her last summer session dance!!
Yes, the school year has begun. We're right back into "go" schedule. Here comes our crazy time. Dance is done for 2 weeks but soccer kicks off this weekend and again we're back to 3 different practices along with school, homework, Squiggly..................
Hang on it's going to get a little bumpy with in the next few months...........
Just a Mom jumping into a new school year and all that it brings!!!
