I'm afraid that fall is in the air. I'm not done with summer yet 😞 . The other morning you could see your breath outside.
This is my 20th year for buying school supplies. Yes, 20 years I've been doing this. This is my first year that supplies cost ZERO! That's right, nothing! All required supplies were still left over from the last few years. Binders from last year are still good, pencil case and all writing implements ready. I may have to get mechanical pencils by xmas, will see.
All kid 3 wanted for school clothes was a new pair of pants and a pair of shoes. The pants were a quick $55 but the shoes were hard to find. Mens 7.5 is not an easy size to come across. Finally found some size 8's that met the fashion/athletic criteria. They are big, but not for long. He has been golfing lots this summer and enjoying it. I have been driving to golf course to hockey rink to hair cut to friends house to next place and next place. I should drive uber.
Physiotherapy has been helping immensely this summer. I've also started yoga and meditating. Turning hippie, and I like it!
I got an e-mail from my employer that I have 120 hours of vacation to use by March. Shall do! 😄
Dh is talking about Mexico this winter. I am all for it. Just need to figure out dates that work.
This year, just like last September is going to be crazy. My dh is working extra at work and has an outside work project. I might see him 3 evenings next month. Kid 3 has tons of sports so I will be the driver as per usual. There is a class I would like to do that is 1 night a week for an hour. I'm telling dh and kid3 and I bet they kick up a fuss. Funny how an hour a week for mom is the end of the world!
I have to get rolling! A kid will be waiting for pick-up, and food, and shower. I am just glad he's busy doing stuff that isn't video games!
I need to do a huge grocery and Costco run. Not looking forward to it! I better do a few meal plans today too.
The good things:
$0 for supplies
Healthy athletic kids
Things that suck:
My creepy bil and his family are in town
Why can't I have nice family that live close?!

I'm also moving into full on driver mode! And, loving meditation right now as well. :-)
I miss buying school supplies! And setting up a classroom! We must live in very different parts of the country - we've been sweltering for so long I 'm starting to think I live in the tropics. I'm really tired of it so am looking forward to 17c in Scotland. I love my yoga and meditation practise and so does my back :)
