Workin'. There's quite a chill in the air. Fall is coming!

I tried to finish my Kisses page yesterday and ran out of foam tape, so I need to stop at Jo's on the way home and get some. Tonight is the info meeting about band. Gotta go to that.

Does anyone know if new TV starts tonight? I'm so sick of reruns!

Pixie dust all around!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

What instrument is M considering???

 

[morgansmom2000]

Flute was her first choice, but that class was full, so she's doing the clarinet.

 

[DisneyBarlans]

Good morning!

Deb-what a cutie!
Can't wait to get that swap back Stephanie!

Crazy Monday!
New babysit kid...things seem to be going well so far.

So I decided to put the boys back on the bus today. They rode it for the first week of school, until DS5 declared that the bus driver was "Mean." I think part of it is that he's a man and a different nationality but anyway...he separated them because they were pushing each other and told them they couldn't sit together anymore. He almost wrote them up, but luckily I was at the bus stop and talked him out of it. After day 3 of this (and DS5 coming home in tears every day) I decided to make them car riders. Now I have 3 babysit kids under 4 all day and it's a lot harder to take them & pick them up from school every day. I waited at the bus stop this morning with them and told the bus driver that they had to sit together. He said no at first until DS5started crying and I told them that they HAD to sit together. Bus Driver finally said ok they can sit together but if they start fighting again I'm going to write them up. We are talking about a 5 and 8 year old that have never had behavior issues, and were just doing typical sibling messing around with each other. I told them we'll try it for a week, and if they still have issues I'll put them back in car riders. DH said he could maybe help with picking them up in the afternoons...it would just make my life so much easier if they could ride the bus!

Good morning, Everyone!

Up since 2 so you KNOW there's been coffee!
Pool and gym done.
grocery done
breakfast done
going over my travel ressies - good thing - I had us leaving Strasburg, VA on Saturday and a ressie for TN on Sunday night. hmm. Are we sleeping in the car on Saturday night? Thank heavens I was able to find a nice lady to fix it. I Southerners!

Does anybody know if the Crop shop in Chattanooga still exists? Planning my route - it's getting more difficult with so many closing.

Happy Day, all!

 

[tinkryansmom]

[ddavis860]

OK! WHO bought all this stuff!!!


Grrrrrr, purging is just so time consuming!!

 

[joyah]

Deb i so know the feeling!!!! Hang in there
I've decided that I CAN NOT buy anything but adhesive till I complete at LEAST 2 years in each childs book and catch my book up. I need to learn to speed scrap! I have 6 1" art bins with patterened paper sorted and then I have 3 cropper hoppers full plus the 12 insersts that are supposed to be in them filled I also have a paper file that I carry to crops of plain paper full. and then a 3-4" stack that just stands between the hoppers. That is just the 12x12! the 8x11 is 2 holders full and then the mosaic grid paper is in a 2" art bin.

I will reasses after that. it might be another year in the books before I allow myself to buy more.

 

[PinballFamily]

Spent most of today starting to do the filing of "important" papers, mail, etc. that has been piling up for a long time. I've got four boxes (of various sizes) full of this crap, and got most of the way through the first one today.

It feels GREAT to start this (was dying to do this all summer, since the stack of boxes/mail piles was growing and growing - than realized it was going to have to wait until the kiddos got back into school)! Our file cabinets had lots of space and I had all the office supplies I needed - just needed the quiet time!!!

Others have Mt. Washmore...I have Mt. Papermore! And I'm slowly climbing...

DB - good luck with the bus! Maybe a "thanks for being so cooperative" muffin/donut/coffee (or $5 gift card) would go a long way in getting the "mean" driver to cut you and your kids some slack in the short term...

Linda - funny (probably not at the time!) story about the lodging!

 

[DisneyBarlans]

Thanks for the advice Pam. They made it home today, no tears so all is well until tomorrow.
