fun stuff. and end of summer crankiness!

bickering is constant at our house. 2 big boys are grounded from the computer today, which to them is WORSE than death. too stinking bad!

Bunko last night was super delightful! and guess who won? ME! winner! 4 people had to roll off tied with 3 bunkos each, and i won the roll off. i could have also won high score, and last travel. so i was a winner no matter what. yay me!
sorry to rub it in girls.

Breaking Dawn discussion was limited since not everyone was done. but we all agreed on some things. i still won't say what it is though in case people aren't started yet. i still think i loved it!

i cleaned a bunch yesterday. and am trying to maximize the dressing room before school starts Monday. i just need to sort and label the kids basics into bin. and label them. i don't remember where i put my labeler. hmm. i better find that.

I'm 8 chapters in on Battlefield Earth. it's ok so far. but i'm not dying to read it yet. Lance was funny when i was cleaning yesterday he accused me of avoiding reading the book. which was semi true. But i also have a deadline before back to school so i need to organize all i can before so we can get ready in a timely manner. i can read with my free time. later.

Oh and getting up early just may kill me. we are so not ready to get back to a normal school schedule. as far as up and ready and out the door by 8 something. i'm afraid we will be late this year too. and i really hate that. prep the night before is KEY!

gotta get ready. have to organize. need to plan ahead.

as jealous as i am of the moms who had kids start today, or monday or last week. i'm still not quite ready.

but i am ready to only have these two home with me all day! i'll be traveling light. unfortunately with the big kids gone, i won't have any help keeping them out of trouble too. since these are the people that graffiti on my walls and furniture. climb to the top of the piano to steal candy, and dump water out on the floor all day.

and yes i worry when they are gone to school. especially the first few days. hoping they will behave. make new friends, and not be stressed or overwhelmed about school like i was as a kid. and hoping their teachers like/tolerate them.

this one worries me. she got new adhd meds. it's the first try for her. and they make her over the top emotional all day. so i'm concerned we don't have her meds figured out before school starts. i need to call the DR. and see what she thinks. the crying emotions are worse than her being hyper and annoying. we'll see. hopefully it's an easy fix. like a smaller dose or trying a different type.

wanna read something Liberty was saying in the car yesterday with my mom and sister? go here.
