Random Thoughts on Symmes

… inept, but trying real hard

I’m all over the place in this one August 25, 2008

I’m sorry it’s been a while since my last post, but we’ve been busy beavers over here.  And that is because following vacation [which, incidentally, I plan to post about photo-essay style at a later time, and that time being when I find the time to upload my pictures to the computer]. 

And speaking of photos, I would be remiss not to share this awesome deal from Walgreens with you:

Remember this summer every year 4x6 Prints 50 for $5 GET COUPON CODE

Here’s hoping that comes across as a clickable link.  

Do you ever get startled by a glare in your glasses?  Ha!  Like, out of the corner of your eye you’ll see a flash of light that looks like something just shot past you & you’re all, “Whoa!  What the heck was that?”  No?  Maybe its just these stupid BIFOCALS.  Whatever.

I could look this up, because I’m researchy like that, but in an attempt to save time, do y’all have any suggestions for rawhides that don’t become soggy throat plugs when chewed?   Because my dogs lives are at stake here.

 

I think she’s talking about me. 

Is anyone else sad that summer’s almost over?  This is my summer of decent TAN [well, by pale white-girl standards anyway].  Why must you end?  And back to school.  Ugh!  Back to school means HOMEWORK and homework equals stress.  Because homework results in grades.  Grades that are important and for a 15 year old … also future-determining!  Ack.  Plus it also means that instead of leisurely morning routines [because said beautiful children are still sleeping during leisurely morning routine], that mornings will now entail assuring that 15 year old is up, dressed halfway presentable & out the door by 6:20 [I repeat, "Ack"] and that 8 year old is up, dressed, fed, has teeth brushed, that backpack contains all necessary papers, permission slips and chapstick and is on the bus BEFORE finalizing self to get out the door in a timely manner to arrive at job-with-added-responsibilities at an acceptable hour. 

[Shoot!  Look at the time.  It's 1:25 a.m. I have to get to bed.]

I’ll be back soon with more on these topics AND Vacation:  A Photo Essay.  Until then, back to school, we spit on you.  And then, we sing John Mayer.

    Link not clickable nor does it indicate where one gets this awesome deal, is that the Wals green? School??? Crap I knew there was something going down this week which would explain my absentness of friend status….oh and the infamous IKEA BUSY SEASON……

    Yes, it’s Walgreens & try it again … it should work now.

    Yep, I’m bummed too. Some may call me crazy, but I like my kids home with me for the summer. Because I’m just a big kid and when they are home, I have friends. [I think Maddie and Evan might be in the same class this year.] Megan is in 1st this year [insert crying here] so I will have to roam the neighborhood during the day for random friends now. Or just become a school-volunteering-obsessed mom. That sounds like more fun!!!

    I love playing in the summer too! The whole family agrees that it was a great summer & we all hate to see it end. Yes, Evan is in Maddie’s class this year! He’s like the only kid she claimed as a ‘friend’ in her class, [she knows some other kids but only his name was mentioned. Well, his and those she's grateful to NOT have in her class. Ha.] She’s happy you’re volunteering!
