1.) We've been busy getting ready for back to school. We took a trip to Target only to discover we're slackers and they seemed to be all out of glue and pencils. So we headed to good ol' Walmart and finished our list off.
Kate starts August 26 and we got a letter yesterday from her teacher with her supplies and a time to go in for pre-testing. I'm not sure if she's excited yet. She told Daniel the other night she was a little nervous and has been bringing her Pre-K teacher up a lot. But she'll have friends in 5 minutes and I'm sure her teacher will enjoy her.
I'm afraid we're going to have another clothing issue though. I'm not positive with her school specifically, but with some of the other elementary schools- tank tops aren't allowed. I get no spaghetti straps but what's up with the no basic tank? I mean what's going to happen if someone flashes a bare shoulder in Kindergarten or even 5th grade? Stupid. I've also been a slacker in the photo department. But enjoy Kate ready for school last year wearing a *shock* tank top! Can you believ how little she looks?!
2.) The 3rd Twilight book is sitting on the table and is calling to me. I already started my new Jennifer Weiner book while I was waiting on Daniel (yes Daniel reads vampire love stories written for teenage girls) to finish it. I know once I start it not much else will get done besides feeding all the living things in my house. I did so good yesterday with laundry and am almost finished. Will I get the rest done today?
3.) Speaking of feeding things... Have I ever mentioned how feeding works at my house? So I nurse Aidan 1st thing in the morning and may or may not go back to sleep. From then on this pattern continues throughout the day without fail every 2-3 1/2 hours until we go to bed. Shortly after waking Kate wants to eat, I have to eat, and the little meowing machines have to eat. Then there's lunchtime for the 2 of us, followed later by the kitties needing their mid-day meal. Then there's the occasional snack in there for either of us, and before you know it it's time to get ready for dinner. Don't forget I've been feeding a baby in the middle of all this. Before bed I have to feed the cats AGAIN. It's a viscous cycle: eating. Sometimes I feel like it's all I do. Soon we'll be adding this sort of thing to the fun with little monkey.
4.)I've been in a grumpy mood lately. Everything the past few days has been getting on my nerves and I'm having a hard time shaking it. Maybe it's summer is coming to an end blues. Maybe it's that I had a schedule packed 2 months and August has been pretty laid back in comparison and I'm not happy with so much free time. Maybe it's because I have no one but children to socialize with during the day or that I'm in one of my "I hate Kansas" phases. Perhaps it's an apprehension about my 1st baby going off to Kinderagrten all day in less then 2 weeks. Ahh well- this too shall pass.
5.)Daniel and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary on September 4th. Despite my grandiose and admittedly selfish desires to have something involving a diamond(that is the traditional 1oth anniversary gift btw- and I would know I worked at Hallmark) and to take a vacation, I'm coming to terms with the idea that neither will be happening. Going on vacation is hard when you got married in September and your have a child in school and a diamond anything is "probably" unnecessary and apparently both involve money. But just in case you come into some money honey I wouldn't be disappointed in something wrapped up like this. And since I know how you think... It doesn't count if the box is empty. It also doesn't count if you fill it with candy... OR chocolate...OR jewelry from Claires.
