The Impending Start of School

Summer is almost over. I am not ready for school to start. I still need to buy some of the school supplies, and both of my kids don't have complete uniforms yet. It is scary to have to wait until the last minute to buy the things I know they'll need. I'm going to take both of them shopping with me tomorrow. Shopping with either one of them is fine, but both together, Uffdah! And, it's “Tax Free Weekend.” Tax free is always a good thing, but the mob of shoppers makes everything take longer, and equals fewer choices. Maybe my kids will agree to bring their required summer reading books with them to read while we wait in the long lines.

Next Tuesday is registration at school. Hopefully, the repairs have stayed on schedule after the tornado hit last year around Christmas. I'm looking forward to seeing the condition of the campus. It is not located in an area en route to things I normally do, so I haven't seen it much this summer. And, finally, after the last six years apart in different schools (because of their age difference, and because of where our local school system splits the grades for elementary, middle, and high school), both of my two youngest children will be at the same school once again. I am looking forward to only having to deal with one school bus, one set of administrators, and one time table. I am not looking forward to getting up at 6 AM.
