It costs me around $1,000 for the summer to know that she is in a safe environment and don't worry about her when I drive away. I am looking forward to school starting in a week from a financial standpoint since money is so tight. Sad, but true. Thankfully she loves school. Vacations kill me because I can't take time off.wwaawwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321450654927988607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-50981785505466502262007-08-19T10:21:00.000-08:002007-08-19T10:21:00.000-08:00Wow, we have two more weeks until our school start...Wow, we have two more weeks until our school starts!

I have three younger brothers so I knew what to expect and I knew I couldn't handle it. Every day I think, "Please, just make it to 18. After 18 it is YOUR fault if you maim yourself, or die some freakish death. Just don't do it on my watch." May these last few days pass quickly.Ice Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720267761985766740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-76713024075020841652007-08-18T21:15:00.000-08:002007-08-18T21:15:00.000-08:00I know I'm thrilled to have Girlie Girl in school!...I know I'm thrilled to have Girlie Girl in school!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-37208462564118458082007-08-18T10:07:00.000-08:002007-08-18T10:07:00.000-08:00Oh, aren't you the lucky one with less than a hand...Oh, aren't you the lucky one with less than a handful of days of summer left.<BR/>I too love my children.

I am so excited for school to start too! I have two going to school (one all day and the other half day kindergarten) and only one left behind. I love my children dearly and we have had a great summer together but they are beginning to bicker a lot with each other and I am getting very tired of hearing the arguing. So I can totally identify with you being excited about your children going to school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-45635653780038188392007-08-17T16:44:00.000-08:002007-08-17T16:44:00.000-08:00not that you can see the family resemblence or any...not that you can see the family resemblence or anything.<BR/><BR/>schools in our part of California don't start for a few more weeks....katherine.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06000676644051958330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-87909999450549301812007-08-17T16:14:00.000-08:002007-08-17T16:14:00.000-08:0050 hours 32 minutes and 29 seconds to GO.I have to...50 hours 32 minutes and 29 seconds to GO.<BR/><BR/>I have to keep a mental ticker in my head at all times so I don't stick a freaking fork in my eye.Loralee Choatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055102094371755499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-6858712674665950592007-08-17T15:58:00.000-08:002007-08-17T15:58:00.000-08:00Michelle I am right there with you!!!

I have been home with my daughter for the last 5 years and 11 months and in 9 beautiful days she will leave me for kindergarten... would it be insensitive to throw a party? Only trouble is, I may have jinxed myself. I've been waiting for this moment all summer long, and now, now that I'm in the home stretch? There's a stinking hurricane headed right for me. My luck, it'll hit and she won't be able to go to school until October. Grumble, grumble.
