I can't believe a new school year is about to start tomorrow. It just seems like I was celebrating by myself in the kitchen yesterday making the last of the school lunches. I don't even know if that last sentence made any sense and honestly I'm too tired to figure it out. I really don't feel ready for all this yet. How do people do it? I have laundry everywhere...seriously everywhere. Some of it I can't remember if it is dirty or clean. Every room is a nightmare and if you tried to walk through in the dark, it could be hazardous. I should be making a grocery list, but instead I'm blogging. I thought I might even make it to the store tonight, but our daddy never came home from work and is now out playing volleyball (which I don't mind, at least some of us get to relax and he does need it). Oh did I mention I am suppose to be starting a class on Wed. night, sociology, I don't think this is going to help me at all, but I need to take it. I hope somewhere between taking kids to school, laundry, grocery shopping, meal making, that I can actually try and can some more salsa, I have one more batch of tomatoes I would like to use. They are ripening fast and may not be able to make it much longer. Did I also mention that I am afraid to touch my own garden. There are huge creepy spiders all over, my neighbor tells me, oh those are just garden spiders they won't hurt you. Anyways, obviously right, they are in my garden, the problem is they are large and yucky! I also discovered that a green horned tomato worm has probably moved in, and I really don't want to find him, but he is eating my fruit!! They are so disgusting, last time I found one of those I screamed my head off! Maybe Brody will get it off the plant...is that mean?
We went to the zoo today, after we visited Cambree's kindergarten classroom. It was a free day, so worth a trip, because really the zoo is not worth paying that much for. The kids had a good time, it was hot, but they have these cool misters all around to help cool you off. I was glad we could spend our last day of summer together doing something other than being at home. At least the girls were able to cool off at swim practice tonight. Landry had the coolest snot string hanging from his nose today and I wish I could have taken a picture of the look on his face....maybe not of the snot, not sure how to do that though. He was so confused what was touching his lip, it went clear down to his shirt. I thought it was pretty funny.
My kids are great, I will miss them when they head off to school. These years are busy and they are growing up so fast. As I'm typing this right now, I can hear Emery and Kelci chit chatting in there room. They are so excited for school to start. Outfits have been laid out, pencils are sharpened and bags are packed. They really are good, they did this all on there own. I'm glad they can pick up the slack where I slack off. Well I have to go and figure out how to lace a converse shoe that has two tongues...who designed this thing, it should come with instructions. I hope everyone has a great start back to school.

Wow. That sounds like my day. My kids went back to school yesterday, and though I know they were ready, I still felt like summer was officially over. And Amy, you're like wonder woman!
