I am so happy....in a way. The kids have been out for almost three months now. They are ready to get back. However I do like the relaxed days of letting them stay up and sleeping late.
Now all of the practices, meetings, games start. I already have to be in two places at once Tuesday evening.

Heading back to the mall today. My favorite place...not! I have to exchange some shirts with ds, buy Kay a few more tops, finish her school supply list and buy something for her 13th birthday, which is also tomorrow.

Sarah is so ready to go back to college and it's making her rather surly. Some days I vacillate, between sending her walking to Oshkosh right now and being sad because then she'll be gone.

My kids start Wednesday. They are probably more excited then me. They found out Friday, they both got teachers they wanted. They also have good friends in their classes, so they are ready!

They were out for almost THREE months??? When did they end school? We barely go over two months here. :o(

Emily ended June 12th and starts up again September 2nd, so it's 81 days.

We picked up Sarah on May 16th and her college classes start September 3rd, but our Labor Day will be spent getting her moved into her dorm room.

They have people move in by alphabet and she is in the 1pm to 3pm slot, so we will probably get there late morning, eat lunch, and then get her moved in. Last year, we had to take both cars, on move-in day and still had to send some stuff in the mail, that next week.

We get almost 3 months here. We get out around May 25th, and go back August 20th

Wow, Debbie, you get 5 more days off, than Emily! We must get those off, during the school year, then, with inservice days and stuff like that.

I can't wait until mine go back. Last week I thought it had gone by too fast but this week I think I could use a break. They have spent way too much time together and they are driving each other crazy. Mine don't go back until Aug 25. So one more week
