I'm having some mom guilt, B isn't going to preschool. The main reason is because logistically it doesn't work. Daycare or an outside preschool doesn't provide transportation. Not cool for working Moms. He'll be switching daycares in Nov that has a pre-k room that has a focus on getting the kids ready for kinder but I wish we had that 'back to school' moment for preschool. Blerg. Dude never has a "back to school" Moment because he goes year round. I think most of the kids with working moms don't get that until they're older, and it's fine. ❤️ Same here.

xolastunicornxo PSL is back at Starbucks if you want to get started on fall. UO #2 of the day! I don't like the PSL. Which is weird because I really like pumpkin. My heart is with the salted Carmel mocha for my fall/winter drink.

He 'officially' moved into the new class today but because people are still on vacation they have combined classes and I dropped him in the younger class anyway. We won't have a traditional 'back to school' day till kindergarten in 2 years

Hello! I dropped my car off to get the protection package on it an hour and a half ago. Then a quick trip to target (and a PSL haters!). Now it's lunch time and the H goes to her first day of preschool! I'm so excited, she is too. Have a good first day at work yummeecookee and snoopmommymom.

UO: I'm ready for summer to be over. I love the long lazy days of summer, but right around now every year I start itching for cooler weather, and our busy school schedule... not to mention all the pumpkin and cinnamon scented things! And I love the holiday season so I like feeling like we're moving towards that. I don't know I like the change of season, even though our "change" is fairly minimal here! !) I'll sit on this bench. The change was minimal in FL, too--from summer to summer lite--but it's more pronounced here, which I love. I am always ready for summer to be over; fall is my favorite season.

The boys' daycare is obviously open all summer, but they do a big move-up day at the end of each August. I love it because it makes changing classes this big, exciting thing that EVERYONE does. I mean Colin is still missing his old teacher but the general fuss over the "new school year" has helped. Plus I got my photo op.

Hi! We had a busy morning. I had to take B to a CVS minute clinic to do a physical for preschool, since insurance only covers one a year and our doc in FL can't fill out the VA school form. Got that done, grabbed breakfast out, then ran a few errands. Today is the last really warm day here before the temps drop a bit (nothing drastic--into the 70s). Guess this is summer's last gasp, which is fine with me. Good luck to all the kiddos starting school today, and to snoopmommymom yummeecookee and lahdeedah!

trtlcrzy & chrisy01 & @anyonesmarterthanme I signed my mother up for hello fresh and she's not getting their emails. She has sbcglobal.net. I looked in her spam and they aren't going there and I looked at her settings and I don't see anything that looks like it's blocking those emails. She's having the same problem with receiving Toms emails. I'm sure it has something to do with her settings but hose do I figure it out?

tgrimes, I don't think Irma is headed this way, is it? Looks like it's going to hit Florida.

Today is Mondaying hard. I realized I work this weekend too and that made me want to hit my head against a wall.
Yesterday we went to the fair and Cass got to go on some of her first big kid rides and she was so proud.
It's so smoky here from forest fires. My car was covered in ash this morning.

vino if it makes you feel any better, back to school pics is not a thing here. No kid has ever had one taken and I don't think they miss it 😉.

vino C doesn't have a back to school either since he goes year round. Today though about 5 families, including me, were right there at 7am ready to drop off. The teachers weren't even there yet! Usually it's me and one other but it was apparently a long 3 day weekend!

tgrimes , I don't think Irma is headed this way, is it? Looks like it's going to hit Florida. It depends on what happens once it hits the carribean islands. From what I've seen for computer path projections, 2 show it turning north towards florida & the rest show it going into the gulf.

I'm glad he had a good drop off lahdeedah... it's hard on us moms when they are so little. Omg I fear the lice kamakaziartist!!! I did read that if you douse your head in listerine and wear a shower cap for 2 hours it will kill everything. I haven't done it though so I'm not sure if it truly works. I've never had a PSL.

The only thing I could think of is her email wasn't entered correctly on the HF website.

I know the mom guilt is strong but just remember that the kids have no idea they are "missing out" on something. (Not that I think they are missing out) I don't know if that makes you feel any better.

trtlcrzy I stopped at Barnes and nobles and got one! This is the first coffee drink I've had since finding out I was KTFU, it just hasn't sounded good at all. I do wish I'd gone to a real Starbucks, the drinks at B&N never are as good. Baby was good! Heartbeat of 150!!

lahdeedah, thinking about you today! I hope you enjoy your time alone. When do you go back to work? Monday! It's weird because I'm ready to go back, but I am not. I think had I got more of what I wanted to get done during leave, I would be totally ready. I am scared for what our evenings will look like, too.
