Getting My Kids Ready For School!!!

Sorry, about the delay in posting -- not that there has been a lack of views, or absurd news to comment on but this is going to one of the few personal postings that I have to share.

Doesn’t it seem (or I am getting to old to remember) -- kids start school earlier and earlier each year. Now I am not THAT old, but I remember it being the end of August, beginning of September -- These days they start back the beginning to middle August! Those of you with school age kids, I am sure this is not news to you!

In the past, this time of year -- I am getting one kid ready for school… buying clothes (which now with a teenager is an ordeal in itself), supplies, haircuts, paying for school fees, filling out registration, etc. But for those of you that know me personally, know that this year I am getting 4 kids ready!!!! I have one that is a teenager going into 8th grade, 1 that will be 6 in November (which means she missed the Kindergarten cut-off last year), and twins that will be 5 on August 26th (which means the just make the cut off this year). Not only has this been the most chaotic couple of weeks (not to mention expensive!!!), but so exciting, and so sad.

My babies are growing up, I can’t believe that they are all going to be in school this next month. So if I am MIA from updating daily -- that is where I am, getting prepared to watch my little ones take the plunge! And my oldest on continue to grow as an intelligent, beautiful, and independent woman! I am very blessed (as much as I do bitch about it!)
