Only 4 more days....

Until the kidlets go to school! I love them to death and honestly I'm used to having them around by now (you know, summer and all that jazz), but their friends went back to school a couple of weeks ago which leaves my kids somewhat bored with each other....

Which leads to bickering and other expressions of boredom.

So, needless to say, I'm ready for school to start. It starts Monday and while I'll be sad to have so much less time with Goober, it will be nice to have a little respite from the fighting.

I'm looking forward with some one on one time with Turbo and a little bit of freedom to do things. After all, it is MUCH easier to load up one kid than it is to convince all three to go run errands with me! And this year I don't have to worry about homework (outside of reading for 15 minutes a day) because of the style of school they are going to go to.

At first Goober was upset that he wouldn't be getting a new backpack... then when I told him that he didn't need one because he wouldn't have any homework he yelled "YES!!!! NO HOMEWORK!!!"

Ya, I think that won him over... hopefully the actual school will win him over as well!

I'm also looking forward to the school schedule, while I've been getting the kids up at the school time this last week, it is taxing because they are tired and then I don't have a designated place to take them to so I get to deal with the "tireds". Hopefully they will adjust enough by next week to not be total pains to their teachers.

Anyhow... that is what has been up with me lately. I would have posted sooner about something in the news, or thoughts, or SOMETHING! But my brain is fried from getting up early to exercise and get the kids up, the news has been slow and pretty boring to me lately, and frankly I can't think of anything else to post!

PS we had our family pictures retaken on Tuesday... I'm excited to see how they turn out :)

Monotony

Wow, believe it or not that word is actually spelled right. It looks sooooo wrong!

Anywho

I was just thinking today that I had a bunch to do, then realized that if someone asked me what I was up to I would most likely say "Nothing".

Wanna know why? Yup, that's right. Monotony.

This morning thus far I have gotten the kids dressed, fed them, started laundry (can we say never ending task?!), straightened the kitchen, gone through a pile of crap on my counter, put stray toys where they belong, gotten a shower (I know I probably shouldn't include that but sometimes it just doesn't happen capt'n!!!), taken G to preschool, talked to the Pediatric office and the Dentist office, made plans for lunch, and made sure that M didn't wet her pants.

Yet, if someone asked what I had done I would say "Not Much... You?"

It's no wonder I feel like I get anything done! I never acknowledge that I did anything!! Because the stuff I do is soooo repetitious and non interesting nobody really wants to know.... Unless of course my day has been extreme, good or bad. then I have something to talk about.

I'm starting to understand why people think that stay at home moms do "Nothing" all day long!! It's cause they say so! :D
