Tah-Daaaaaahh!!

Today is Day 1--of my blogging that is. It just so happened to also be the first day of school. Each and every year brings with it a new set of frustrations. Example: school supplies. Ugh. It seems like it never fails that when school starts we are either to broke to get EVERYTHING on each list (all at once), or the local Mart-Mart doesn't carry something. Anywho, I got my 3 school aged kiddos off to their first day without a hitch. Actually getting them there was a nightmare, though. The parking lot and school building were flooded with the usual 10 million cars and parents hustling their little ones off to class. So now I have just one child at home until next year when she starts kindergarten. I envisioned cleaning the house to a pristine state and finishing climbing Mt. Washmore. However, I guess the quiet house and less than usual chaos have a sedating effect. I laid down with Lena at noon and woke up at . . . FIVE!! Yikes! Thank goodness the older kids went to the Boys and Girls Club after school or I may have had a problem. So, tomorrow morning at around 6, I am heading to Wal-Mart before school. Why so early? Because we still need a few supplies . . . and shoes . . . and my hubby's paycheck gets deposited tonight at midnight . . . :-)
