My get up and go just got up and went

Motivation. This is what I lack. I think I am going to be glad when my oldest returns to regular school this fall. Homeschooling was fun and educational for both of us and I am glad we did it, but the structure of the school year helps me focus and that in turn gives me better motivation.

Also, she will be glad to have Mommy be Mommy and Teacher be teacher. I think having me be both ended up stressing her out.

Things I have to do this week:

*Clean dining room
*Sweep and Mop floors
*Issue invitations for Sunday night dinner
*Plan and prep Sunday night (Back to school) dinner

WISH ME LUCK!!!

Back to school

I went back to school "shopping" in my kid's art box. It is a three drawer plastic cart that holds various arts/crafts items, which at any given time can be markers, ribbon, glue, macaroni, tin cans, balloons, straws, sticker, crayons or small twigs. It is usually some simmering polyglot of all of the above. Many hours later I had retrieved enough pencils to last her through till college, a gallon size bag of markers and all of the pens I can never find when I need to take a message. You can see some of my haul here. Now all she needs from the store is a plastic pencil case, back-pack, 2 folders and some glue. Yay!
