Am I the only one wondering where the summer went?  We go back to school tomorrow.  Tomorrow.  As in tomorrow.  I’m just astonished & perplexed & wondering how in the world it all got by me.  There was a list of stuff me & Miss Neenee were going to do before school started.  She can’t go back to school.  We haven’t finished the list!  Oh well.  All the wailing & crying in the world won’t stop the fact it’s time for school.

I have, in fact, found some helpful solutions to our beginning of the school year woes.  Kristi at I should be mopping the floor has a bunch of neat things on her website that is back to schoolish.

She always has the best stuff on her website.  That Kristi.  I’m so glad she leaves those floors un-mopped.

After you get finished there, go on over to My Super Charged Life     You will find a blog post that is about being nice.  And who doesn’t need to be nice?  This would be something good to go over with your kids, too.  Seeing they will be with other darlings, that may well, not have much coaching on how to be nice.  This would be something good for them to have fresh on their little minds.  They may have to teach niceness to a few other kids this year.

I hope all of you have a wonderful school year.  Miss Neenee will be in 5th grade this year.  5th grade. (sigh)  I went to pick up her schedule & I asked them what she needed to do on the 1st day.  The office lady said, “She will need to meet in the gym.”  I thought, “But that’s where the big kids go.”  Oh yeah.  That’s her.  A big kid.  Maybe a little stressing out is in order here.  Until then, I have to be going, because I should be washing clothes.
