Wow, I can hardly believe that it is just 2 more weeks until school starts. I have really enjoyed summer this year and it has seemed to last a long time. Of course, it is finally hot out today, and will probably continue into the school year...no big deal for some, but there is no AC in our building....bleck!
I think the kids, at least the 2 younger ones, are anxious to get back into school. Chip is busy concentrating on football so school seems far away for him. He has practice for 2 hours every day and he loves it. He comes home everyday telling about things that happen and what he is learning to do. This week is the first week of full contact practice. That kind of freaks me out, but he has no concerns at all. I guess that should make me feel better, but really, it does not. It is just the mom in me I know, but it is going to be really hard to just sit there and watch him get tackled....aaahhhhh!!
This weekend was the Alumni Softball tournament and I played with Clif's class of '90 again this year. We played on Saturday at noon and lost 3-2 and then at 3 and lost 14-2 or something like that. The tournament was done at that point. Although I really like playing, it is nice to have all day Sunday to do whatever we like. Today, that was a big shopping trip to WalMart for new shoes and clothes for school and groceries. $200 later, we had a car full and I think we had content kids.
This week is a no school week for me since they are waxing the main hall outside of my classroom. I think that my room is 90% ready, now I just have to get myself ready. That is a much bigger job. I do have to admit that it will be nice to have a routine in our house again. We are going to start working on school bedtimes and alarms in the mornings to make that first week a little easier for all of us.
Here's hoping that the week is warm (not blazing hot) and sunny so that I can get in a few more good pool days!
