Everywhere I look, and everywhere I go - I'm being reminded that my summer vacation is ever so quickly coming to an end, and that school is starting... soon! Too
stinkin' soon I tell ya!
I've been in denial for too long.
I've been avoiding the sale aisles for supplies, reading blogs rather than checking my work email, and generally trying not to think about all that needs to be done for me to get my classroom ready for school to start in a few days.
I'm just not ready for summer to end! My boys aren't ready either.
This summer has been great because I've felt like this year I was actually able to "vacation" during our summer break too. I've been able to enjoy time with them during the day, and still spend time doing things I enjoy at night. The boys have different friends sleep over all the time, and they go night swimming or play games all night... just having a good 'ole time. But reality is fast approaching.
That means less scrapping --
and no more staying up late since we can't sleep in --
less cooking (because I just won't have time to do
recipes that require the bread to rise 3 times, or onions to soak in buttermilk for a couple of hours...)
It will mean less blogging too!
YIKES... My thoughts are that we had "better really enjoy this last week of vacation and live it up." Right??
But daddy thinks we need "to spend this week getting back into a school routine." You know, get them to bed early every night, wake them up early every morning so they can be ready to go by 8am.
He thinks this helps them "get ready to start school" so they're not too grouchy.
I think it just makes them grouchy... and ME GROUCHY... a week before we need to be grouchy!
But, since it's not "me" getting them up and ready at the crack of dawn (because I'll still be sleeping and enjoying my last week of vacation) ... I'll be ever-so sympathetic to my poor boys if their daddy does this to them.
I'll try to be understanding, and patient, and not get upset with all their whining... but I have a feeling... it's going to be a long week for me. I can tell already... because daddy is in there giving them a lecture right now about how important it is to "get back into school mode."
He's trying to explain...
ummm-
Yep, I've got to go save my poor hubby! "His" boys... are now being referred to as "your mother's boys"... that's usually not good.
ERRR...
My long week is starting early.
No one is more happy than Kyle... he just couldn't fathom another tournament.
He was too busy getting ready for school... in his own way.
These showed up today...
I sure love this kid...
