jake starts with 1/2 day on aug 24 -

caroline & mikey start aug 25.

we're going over to their new school this morning to turn in paperwork and look around.

oh, and they told me yesterday when i called that both kids will be in AM school.

that means 5 days a week it will be just me & ben from 8:45am - noon.

what will we do with ourselves!??!?

dh has direct deposit.

today is payday.

there is no deposit in our account.

he's so laid back. he said he would talk to the accountant today and sort it out.

i'm semi-panicking.

that's pretty much our personalities in a nutshell.

Good morning!

Elizabeth doesn't start school until the first week of septemeber. Her friends mostly start August 19. She is going to be sad and lonely for that little in between stretch.

Sara, I am with you. I would be worried and having a panic attack. I hope it's something quick and easy to fix. I am glad that Mikey and Caroline both have the same time for school. I hope that makes things much easier for you.

I need to go make the coffee. I have a timer on my coffee pot. Every morning I think that I should have set the timer so my coffee was ready. Obviously the thought does not transfer to the end of the day.

i am a terrible procrastinator.

(and speller?)

i should be getting ready - getting the kids ready...

instead i'm playing bejeweled and the kids are watching tv.

Good morning!

Henry starts school Monday (August 9th), and he is so excited.

Mark will go one day that week--haven't heard yet--then start the following Monday full-time.

I'm the laid-back one here.

I know that surprises everyone.

My kids start school September 1. Lucas will have a full day of kindergarten that day.

They have school the 1st-3rd then Monday the 6th off for Labor Day and Thursday the 9th off for Rosh Hashana (sp???)

Thursday the 9th is my birthday.

I am not happy that the kids have no school on my birthday LOL

gm!

yesterday was jake's first day of preschool at his new school. he's going today too. the long term plan for him is M-Th 9-11:30 and then extended hours as needed based on my work schedule.

emily's first day is supposed to be monday the 9th, but since there is no registrar working at the school right now, i can't get her registered. i'm going to call today and try to get an update about when they are registering the new kids (you'd think they'd at least have someone there tomorrow, the day before school starts). b/c her registration is up in the air, i'm not sure when she will actually be able to start. i'm hoping by wednesday b/c i have a really important meeting that day.

i have to go pick up emily's flip flop at the grocery store today (she lost it in there yesterday and i searched everywhere but couldn't find it. they called last night to tell me someone turned it in).

then we have to go get all her school supplies. for those who haven't seen her list, i posted it in yesterday's thread - it's worth seeing. :crazy:

Good morning everyone!!

My life seems to be super stressful lately! I'm usually pretty laid back, but at the moment everything is stressing me out!

Chrissie · Guru

Oh and M2 starts kindergarten August 24th or 25th. It depends on which teacher he gets and we haven't gotten his teacher assignment yet.

He goes for a half a day for one of those two days, then on Thursday the 26th he goes for a haf day. Then he starts full time on Monday August 30th!

Good morning girlies!

Allison- so excited for you!!!!! Such an exciting and important day!

April- I saw the list. My jaw dropped. That is craziness!

Sara- I would be freaking a bit too. But when you think about it, there really is no reason too. I'd still be nervous though LOL. Can you call your bank and see if it's pending?

Hi Libby and Robin!

Dddiii · Guru

And Chrissie! LOL :)

Chrissie · Guru

Holy Moly April, I went to look and that is some list!! I thought our list was pretty long, but it's nowhere near as long as yours!

Gm! Hannah's first real day the 23rd, but she has orientation and reading assessments starting the 18th, which is when the rest of the district actually starts.

I'm so freaking tired.

I have a trillion things to do today. My house is trashed. I am so not ready for Hannah's party on Saturday. I have shopping to do tomorrow, I have to run to the pizza supply store, get favors, set up everything, test a completely different, test a different recipe for her cupcakes, make the cupcake decorations, go to my sister's, take my niece to the airport... I could cry, but I really don't have time to even do that. But yet, here I sit.

Congrats on moving day, LL.

And April, I must admit that I chuckled about the shoe - Em and those flip-flops, eh? "I lost my shoe! Oops! I dropped my shoe!" Freaking cutest thing ever, she is.

That list is nuts. I could never ever afford to buy the stuff on that list. As it is the school helped Travis last year and probably will this year too.

Allison, Good luck today!! :)

Hi Diane!

Meghan starts full day K on Sept. 13th.

Part of me is so excited. I'll have more time alone with Abby just when she should start getting fun (LOL). I'll be able to get work done. And this may sound silly but it's HUGE to me... I won't have to tell Meghan "I don't have time to right now. I have to do x,y,z" as often. I hate having to do that and have had a lot since I've worked at home her whole life.

Then there's that side of me that realizes that this it. There is no going back. She is now in the school system and I can't just decide not to send her to preschool one day so we can go to the park. Or eat lunch with her everyday. So that side of it is hard of course.

I'm just glad we already have another baby in this house or I'm sure I would be dying to have one right about now! And I'm also elated that I will never ever ever again have to live through the newborn days! LOL
