Welcome to the Realm of Chaos
Last week was VBS.....Serengeti Trek.....I managed to piss off the cooridinator by the second night. And I made 200 no-bake cookies on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. I was just offering up my music DVD of the VBS that I'd ordered online earlier this summer. I ended up teaching the kids the hand motions and dances that went with the music. But the DVD idea got squelched....for reasons I do not know....and no longer give a shit about...
My niece Hanna broke her ankle on the last day of VBS. Great. She's 7. On crutches....with a very bruised foot....but I'm happy to report that she is able to walk on it quite well without the aid of the crutches....must be a miracle....or the ankle wasn't really broken, but badly sprained.....that's what you get at what my husband's family has deemed "O'Bless Us" hospital in Athens. I'm happy to see her moving around although I'm still trying to get the screaming noise of very hurt girl out of my head.
Almost burned down the house twice in the past couple of weeks. Had an electrician here on Sunday rewiring our fuse box into the breaker box.....yea!....to the tune of about $700. Not so good right now...but what do you do? Cheaper than burning down the house.
Had Marcus and Adam here today and Katye came to help run interference. Kids had a ball. Swam all day. We got to lounge on a sheet in the shade and split a 2-liter of Coke and knit. Doesn't get much better than that. Hanna came here this evening at 7:30. I'll have her until Friday. And then again next week from Tuesday until Friday although she is only sleeping over one night. Should be ok.
Finally got a school supply list for Preston. They had one posted at Kroger. I found another list on the school's website tonight. Hooray. I hate this going to school nonsense. Who said that they were ever gonna be old enough to go to school??!! Crapola is what I say! He will be going all day every day from 9:30 to 4pm. We not only have to deal with kindergarten but also bus routes and lunches........YIKES!!!!!
Hoping to make it home to cut everyone's hair before school starts. What a nightmare. Where has the summer gone?
