You & me both, sista!Or at the very least, many piggyback rides leaving the park at night.
And my child is built solid!

Ahhhhh yes the piggyback
It's funny, yesterday DS5 didn't feel like walking and dropped to the ground like a toddler...Oh yes, there will be a stroller...much to DH's dismay
On a positive note.....

I managed to pick up an extra shift
Now I am only off Tuesday
However it may be a good thing since last night I was already too excited to sleep

Oh goodness! Yeah, it may be a good thing then.I always get too excited to sleep, too. I just get so worked up (in a good way) thinking about all the fun things we want to do.
Though it doesn't take much to get me too excited to sleep. We go to Reid's school today @ lunch to meet his teacher for this year & last night I was so excited (& a little nervous) last night that I trouble going to sleep.![]()
AWWWWGood luck today!!!

Thanks! It went well. His teacher seems very nice & organized (which I like). I spoke with his Kindergarten teacher & she was very happy with the teacher they put him with for 1st grade. Evidently, this teacher is 1 of the 2 his K teacher recommended for him.
YAY! What a relief!I won't find out the teachers until we get back. But it's all good. Maddie's new school is removing asbestos until the 22nd of the month.
They just notified us today, I just hope the school is good to go for September

Oh, WOW! I mean, it's good that they're removing the asbestos but definitely sounds like it's cutting it close to the start of school.
Sounds about like the town where Reid's school is.....they had shut down our school car pool road almost all of last school year to work on a town road next to it. It was finished 2 months before school ended but they wouldn't let our school open the car pool road back up.Well now, a WEEK before school starts, they've started working on the main road in front of our school. So, things are going to be an even bigger mess this year for carpoolers.
And because of the way they're doing it, it will even affect the teachers trying to get into school. I really wonder about the minds in charge of these types of decisions.
DMIL will be house and pup-sitting for us, and she popped in yesterday for her pre-payment....Hugsfrom the kids and fresh tomatoes from the garden
Next Friday......
