Is it really only 15 days away?

So, reality check today.  I went into work for a few hours to “get a head start” before the beginning of the school year rush.  It didn’t help.  I’m now just as far behind, and now I know how far behind I actually am.  I was oblivious before today.  Of course, this happens every year.  I panic. I dread.  I get excited.  I get scared.  I get emotional. I get ready.  I start nesting.

Yesterday, I allowed McCanless to rent two movies on Netflix while I cleaned out my bedside table drawers and my closet.  (I know, I know, “Mother of the Year Award” does not go to me this year-I guess I should have made her work on her summer reading.)  Oh well.  Mary Clare busied herself for hours with a trunk full of old dance costumes I pulled out of the attic. (You do what you ‘gotta do!) I’ve organized bookshelves, bins and bookbags; gotten rid of “too tight” clothes, old toys and books; bought pencils and paper; I’ve re-organized the playroom/ new homework study room.  We registered at dance and I’ve penciled in all important August dates.  Ready or not, here it comes!

In 15 days, I’ll have a 4Ker and a 2nd grader at Thomas Hart Academy!  Wow!

So, Ms. Chure, are you ready?
