Am I the only person out there who has night owls for kids? School starts tomorrow, the alarm is set for 5 and I have 2 kids who refuse to give it up and go to bed! One of them is in MY bed! I could pull her out screaming but she might wake the others and I am not up to another night on the couch with Tiny.
I am so irritated I just want to scream!
And I hate someone. I would say their name but one day they might find my blog on my facebook profile and then I'd have to deal with her even more than I all ready do. She is pushy and obnoxious. I hate her. HATE!!!!!
Maybe tomorrow will be better, though I doubt it.

Today we started 7th grade. When I say we I mean my little baby dwarf who shouldn't be anywhere near old enough actually went to school while I sat and worried about her. Okay, I didn't really sit, I ran around like a lunatic trying to get everything done that needs doing before Monday, when , by the magical time of 8:40, ALL but 3 little ones will be at their assorted places of education. I didn't ever think I would be one of those moms who had one graduating and one turning a year old at the same time. At least I'm not like the cliche moms who are pregnant at their oldest child's wedding!
We still have to make one last trek to the store before school starts. It just wouldn't be right to start school in old shoes. I mean really, why bother wearing the old shoes at all when there are blisters to be had? One kid inherited the love, and I mean LOOOOOVE, of shoes from both grandmothers. I hate shoes. I wear them only when I have to go in somewhere, when there is snow on the ground, deep snow not just a sprinkle, or when the pavement is so hot it threatens to melt your feet off. I hate shoe shopping almost as much as I hate wearing shoes.
They are loading into the van as I type, I wonder if I sit here long enough if they will just come back in and put themselves to bed? Happily? Maybe happily is too much to ask.

I'm Back!
You all know I had brain surgery in June, at least those of you who talk to me regularly. I think I am going to say, things are back to normal. At least as far as the kids not being so willing to help and let me sleep all day anyway. I guess that's good, it's not like my little son is going to take care of himself and Tiny while all the others are at school.
SCHOOL STARTS NEXT MONDAY!!!!!7 DAYS!!!!!!
I wasn't sure we would all make it through the summer alive, and some of us just barely made it, but here we all are and I am so excited! Of course I do have to be at school alot more this year but that is voluntary so I can't complain there. Thursday is back to school night at our new elem. My little ones are excited to walk around the new school they have been watching grow in our backyard for almost 2 years now. I got a sneak preview last week so the thrill is gone for me. I can tell you that it is much bigger inside than it looks on the outside, and it looks pretty big on the outside!
Have you ever noticed that the last bit of summer finds everyone laying around like bums? That's what everyone here is doing. I better go remind them that Daddy is home tonight, that always gets them moving!
