school preparation

Well, I've struck out so far on getting the kids up much earlier so they will be ready for school.

We have about half of the stuff on their supply lists - and the meet the teacher day is tomorrow and i like them to have most of it by then.

DS2 keeps asking when he "gets to" go to school. Please remember that this is the child that it takes a crowbar to get out of bed on many school mornings.

We didn't do most of the things I had hoped we would do this summer, including very much reading and math practice.

We didn't take a vacation, either. Just as I was thinking that we really needed to get away for a few days, we found out my MIL has leukemia, so I'm being really careful with money because we'll need to go over to France really soon. Luckily, it hasn't been as hot this summer as some other summers we've had. Not that it's been comfortable, just slightly less miserable.

And the boys have still never ever gotten their rooms picked up.
