What a Mess
Oy.
We're having plumbing issues.
I have a lot of towels.
All of those towels are now wet.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH.
City is coming out sometime today to check the sewer line.
Plumber is coming tomorrow morning.
Because the only thing better than one plumbing problem is the potential of TWO plumbing problems.
And again, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

Final Countdown
Just a few more days until school starts. Weeeee!
Tonight is Meet the Teacher. We got the official calls on Tuesday, and I am thrilled with who both girls have for this next year. Hooray!
Last night, I checked in with R because I heard her crying. I assumed the kids were fighting, so with some exasperation in my voice, I asked what was wrong.
"I just want to know what Tiger used to look like because I can't remember"...Waaaaaah.
Tiger is her beloved stuffy. She still has him. She has loved him into an unrecognizable lump of his former self. Why in the world this came up I have no idea. She was heartbroken.
I told her I didn't have any pictures, and she finally calmed down.
Later last night, I spent at least an hour looking not only through all her blog posts from her first 2 years (and only 1 tiger picture to be found in the whole lot), but also searching online to figure out what the brand name was, etc... to see if i could find a good picture of the animal. Zero luck. Grr.
Other than the emotional traumas of growing up, things are going well. We've spent this last week practicing the new earlier bed time and the new morning routines. How fun to wake up at 6am. Needless to say, I have not been going to bed early. Oh well.
Bags and such are labeled. New clothes are sorted and hung up. New socks put in the drawer.
We're ready to go!

The End of Summer
Summer is fast coming to a close... just under 3 weeks until school starts. I can't believe my "baby" is already big enough to go...AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
For the last 2 1/2 weeks, both kids have been saying that they are ready for school.
ME TOO.
:)
All back-to-school clothes, supplies, shoes, socks, backpacks, etc... have been purchased and are waiting to be used.
A little break this week while the kids are at granny's... I still have some students, but free time is available.
Why, just today, we went to see the Hunger Games (finally) at the dollar theater. I've been waiting a LONG time to see it (as i enjoyed the books), and was very pleased with it. The spouse was given a no-snark-during-movie rule, for which I was grateful.
Nothing too big on the radar in the next couple of weeks...just the countdown to school. YAY!!!!
and yes, I will probably cry...but hopefully not in front of them so as not to lessen their excitement and exuberance.
