I have been sooo busy the last 2 weeks! We have finally gone through every drawer, closet, shelf, box, and Rubbermaid tote in our house. I am still shocked at how much stuff that we have accumulated. We could open our own Stuff-Mart. NO MORE. We are simplifying and that's that. We still need to sort some toys that we put into the garage and tie up some loose ends but we got the bulk of it done.
And, I'm even caught up on laundry.
Tomorrow is the BIG day. That is one reason that we have been working so hard to get the house organized. The big day...school is back in session. I am excited to get back into a routine. For some reason, I can't seem to get into a routine in the summer. Schedules are out the window! We stay busy being bored :o( But the beginning of a new school year is a fresh start for me. Regular menu planning, school, laundry & cleaning schedule, learning more about healthy eating, etc... I can't wait!
Each new school year brings on a different twist, with different family dynamics. This year, I will be teaching 9th, 6th, 4th, 2nd, and 1st grades and I will do some Pre-K work with my youngest. This will be the first year that I don't have a baby or toddler around. I told my oldest daughter that this will be our best school year yet! She reminded me that I say that every year.
Happy back to school time to you all :o)

I came upon your blog through a search of interests. I enjoyed my time here. I know what you mean about pencils and crayons and such, and we only have three! Have fun with school. We started in August so we can have Fridays off.
Wishing you a blessed school year. ;)
