It was a hell of a day yesterday. Starting off with the car starter dying, just one day after the battery in the blazer dying, and then a frantic call to Brian when I realized he had been off to get gas for almost an hour. Running upstairs I found 5 missed calls from him on my phone and with the history of 3 accidents now with him I freaked out and panicked as I called him back. Luckily, he was just walking in the sweltering morning sun and humidity home and told me about the car. I jumped in the blazer (which started right up thanks to a new 100.00 battery) and picked him up. 154.00 later and one very irritating morning the Corolla was fixed and Brian was off to do a partial day at work.
I then packed the kids back up and we went to Old Navy and got some shirts for Christopher during an awesome 4.00 sale they had going on in the kids department, then we went to BJs and got some snacks and stuff to be fully stocked for the beginning of the school year, and the mass amount of food inhaling it seems to bring with it. LOL! I was excited to get a lot of stuff, and thanks to some really good coupons it was only 60.00 total for a bunch! Even Brian who had already finished with his 2 cars and met us there was impressed.
The rest of the day was a hot slow moving day. I took off right after getting home from the stores with the kids to go up to the school and work the Kindergarten registration for the PTA. I love working it on that day, although it wasn't set up like it was last year and I am afraid we really dropped the ball on getting the amount of people to join that we did last year. After that, I met Tiffany and we went next door to Freedom to do Matthew's open house. Wow, what a nice school! Holy Moly! I mean, my goodness, this middle school is bigger than both my high schools probably combined! An absolutely gorgeous school though and one I will be proud to have my kids attend some day....but if they have direction like their daddy, they will be lost for days, LOL! After that it was just your basic hanging at the house, which was a night that ended with me crying in the bathtub realizing that my kids are growing up...way faster than I had realized, and I feel like I missed so much somehow. This has been the summer from hell, and I really feel like the kids don't understand the kind of weather we had this summer, and when you pair that with the finances, its been a recipe for a long boring cooped up cabin fever kind of summer. I am telling you, fall can't get her fast enough! I have some serious making up to do!
Today I am sitting here drinking my 3rd cup of coffee, and then we are packing up and heading up to Blue Ridge for the day to play at Horseshoe Bend Park with Tiffany, Eric, and the kids. My kids have no idea, and I am a little scared of the kids drowning, getting lost, getting hurt, getting kidnapped, and all that jazz, but, we are going anyway! I am about to hop off here and pack the cooler. The kids have no idea where we are going so that should be fun too. Ha. I hope today proves to be that burst of fun I have so desperately been searching for for the end of summer vacation. Its hard to believe tomorrow night we will be preparing for school the next morning! Wow!
Well, I hope everyone has an incredible Saturday...including us!
Happy day!
