Ready or Not...

I'll tell ya...I was definitely not ready for this last week...

SCHOOL...ALREADY??!!!

BUT....BUT...

SIGH...

Well, ready or not, it comes anyway.  I just really felt like I needed just ONE more month of summer.  We really were jipped this year with all the surgeries.  I guess there's always next time right, and hey...my kids can breathe...

Well, most of them can...

School Started Tuesday.  I definitely thought school starting would mean getting in a better routine.  Getting organized...you know, all that good stuff...

I was wrong...at least for now.

I got the older two off to school.  I had an appt that morning to get my hair fixed...cause I messed it up...cause I think I can do these things Nemo, but you just cant....

Mostly cause I couldn't see the back of my head...and bleach plus no vision equals not the best scenario

Anyways, I have a head full of foils, a daughter who has to go to therapy, and my Parker boy starts Kindergarten this year...OH, and my sister was over with her little man getting ready for work too... ;)

Luckily Brian got there in the nic of time to get kids to where they needed to be.  I was running all over the house (with my foils) getting Parker ready, Romy ready, and getting them out the door.  I was sad that I missed Parker's first day.  There are only so many firsts...but Brian was super cute and took some pictures

I had to go to school early to pick the kids up because Oakley had another dr appt...she still cant breath through her nose...that's generally a problem I guess.  :)  So after an hour and a half with five kids at the doctors office, we headed out with steroid treatments, and we were off to my dads to wish him a QUICK Happy Birthday.  It's about 5:30, and I had a preschool meeting at 7.  So I hit my kids through the 1/2 price Happy Meal line at McDs, and head to my dad's in Eagle.  I couldn't even give him his birthday present because it was stuck on our old hard drive from our computer crashing...so I showed up empty handed...

We came. We ate. We left.

BUT...hey, at least we sang him the Birthday song...sigh...

On to the next adventure.  I drop the kids off at home with the sitter, and took Blazer to the meeting.  I am glad that we found a preschool for him...he will need it with the kids being gone so much!!  When we were done, we had to find Carter a backpack.  I had been to four stores already, and didn't have much luck.  Another 3 stores later, and we FINALLY found something that wasn't super spendy, or super dorky...

I finally got home about 10pm to a house full of kids that hadn't gotten to bed yet...on a school night...

JOY

I put them to bed...and finally sat down...at around 11pm...

So that was our FIRST day of school....who's up for round two??!!!
