FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

now, what do I do???? The kids are off to school, the wash is started, dishes done, house well, that is an annual project.. it is the first day ya know...it is tidy...my cup of coffee is almost empty and my day is about to begin...it is too quiet, Emma is confused; she is sleeping...

Life seems to be flying by, I can not believe it is the first day of school. I feel like we just finished yesterday last year.. The summer did not give me enough time with the kids, can't wait for our cruise to enjoy non stop alone time, no phones, no meetings, no bills, nothing but fun in the sun.

Lee County (where we live) was named a high-performing district because it received an A grade from the state based on students' Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test results.The district chose the earlier start date so it can end the semester prior to the winter break, allowing students to wrap up exams and projects before they leave for two weeks

The weekend we spent getting things in order, check the lists to be sure all supplies where in book bags, clothes fit and everything is in order on their shelf. If there is anything I have done to get organized is their book bag/shoes/clothes for the day shelf by the front door is my life saver. Everything we need to get out the door is set out the day before and ready to go... We use this for family outings as well like if we have a Sunday event to be at we set it up ...

the kids lost weight (all but one/Kaitlyn) this summer; some of the clothes I had gotten did not fit..Jordan is our biggest looser this summer, her had bulked up giving even further concerns about his health but putting him on a strict 1200 cal day intake brought the pudgy boy back in line. YEAH! Now the one oppps this morning is he only has one shoe... yikes, they are not that old and special made for him..He has flat feet and angulation of his big toes causing all his toes to start moving inward. He has his high tops on for today (not special made) this is the direction of my day, dig for lost treasures...One black boys left shoe... maybe he dropeed it at the mall...LOL LOL LOL no, that can't be.

It is too quiet, I need to get up off this computer and do something......
