Good morning. Busy day today for me. 3 hour training for work, setting up my new classroom, hockey roster photos, then high school orientation with my big guy. I remember my own high school orientation, how did I get here? Can we start summer at the beginning again?

kim22 I was just thinking this morning that I can't believe August is almost over. Time does go way too fast! Nothing exciting for me...just work.

This summer is one of the shortest for me. I feel like it never really started. So weird. I have a hair cut for Charlie this morning at 10, and then my biopsy at 1. Think healthy thoughts, please!!

The repair guy got the window ordered for my car yesterday so I'm hoping it comes in today and he said he'll get to it today if it does. $375... but better than some other places. Running some errands now that the kids are off to school.

kim22 yes please, I don’t know where summer went, it was a whole lot of nothing and worries 🤦🏼♀️. Come to talk of it dh and I sjwa’s have the blues after the summer, we always want to immigrate to another country and start a simpler live there… this year we found a Waldorf school 10 minutes from my sisters house in Norway m, so we spriraled 😂.

Good morning! Just saw the tag from jewels the other day. Summer has been busy! N starts school on Monday and H will go to K on Tuesday. We went back to school shopping yesterday which was actually fun since they both enjoyed picking out their own clothes. I’m so ready to send H to school. He’s bored of summer so hopefully he loves school. N meets her teacher today and she emus excited. We hope to start our remodel (that I’ve been talking about for 2 years) in October. We’ve blown our budget out of the water so it better be beautiful. Ha. L is turning into a toddler and I’m not ready. He’s starting to talk more and imitates N and H all the time. Pretty cute. Not sure how he’s going to handle them being at school but I know he’s going to be pissed when they get on the bus.

guster Good luck today! Hope you hear good results soon. nam2013 right after we moved here, I thought no way I’m doing this again soon-ish. The last two weeks I’ve been dreaming about moving to another country. The news makes me spiral. Hope your busy day goes as smoothly as possible. kim22

When it pulls up to drop them off lol.

It’s a slow day at work. I’ll probably leave early. Nothing else on the agenda.
M has been begging to go back to karate. I didn’t sign them up yet because I wanted to see how the start of school and cases would go. There was a late class- like 7pm- that is less busy, so I may sign him up and let him go to that class once a week.

guster sending healthy vibes? Do you know when you’ll here the results? They said two days but I'm guessing because it's an afternoon appointment and two days later being Friday, I probably won't hear back until Monday

Drop off line at school is ridiculous. The volunteers are fine and once we get in front of the school its nice and quick, but I swear people don't seem to understand what to do once they drop their kids off. It's a 2 lane driveway and I had a guy driving down the center essentially blocking both lanes so no one can escape, the crossing guard is stopping traffic before the walkers even get to the posted spot, which causes even more of a traffic jam, then there are car line skippers who think they can just bypass the line entirely and squeeze in. Tomorrow I'm just going to park in the side lot and walk her to the designated drop off flagpole to see if that is faster....and less stressful. I used way too many cuss words for being in a school zone this morning.

Bought some mulch and plants and finally got the paint for the basement walls. I impulsively changed my mind on the color so hopefully I like it. Also dropped 200 at the grocery store. Now to unload my car. It may never stop smelling like mulch lol.

Lolas been a huge pain in the mornings because she needs to get energy out and I need to work. After I dropped C at camp I took her to the dog park. She is dead to the world right now! I’d like to say I got a lot of work done but…
I have her first vet appointment later and then tonight there is a zoom call for school to go over Covid protocols this year. I already know that all will be masked but we will hear more about spacing and daily activities. Hopefully Dh is home so I can focus on it. He is taking the two nuns that founding his organization down to the Cape today for a day trip. They are in a nursing home now but still have their house on the Cape and want to visit it and hit their favorite restaurant. It’s things like this that make me remember why I love him so much!

klong11 my girls usually take the bus but whenever I pick them up I always park around the corner from the school and walk up to get them. So much faster than the stupid car line.

Running some errands now that the kids are off to school. Your insurance doesn’t cover it? It will, but I'd have to pay my deductible. Which is $500. And this would count as my "one accident forgiveness " and I don't want to waste that on this.

Lol. Too many people think their special snowflakes can only be dropped off front and center and refuse to drive to the end of the line. Apparently the principal even got emails about it and had to address it in her latest voicemail.
Pick up is even worse. I have to sit there for an hour before school lets out in order to be close enough to the front of the line that it doesn't take forever and make us late for her extracurriculars.
