Last Day Of Summer Vacation

 Today is the last day of summer vacation. School starts tomorrow at 8AM.

3rd grade. How did that happen?

The last week of July and first week of August are always crazy busy in my world. Briana's gotcha day anniversary, Bri's birthday, my father's birthday, Bri's birthday party, school open house, school supply shopping and the first day of school always occur during these two weeks.

This year has been crazier than ever. I'm on the home stretch now. First day of school is tomorrow. Bri's birthday is on Tuesday.

Open house, Bri's gotcha anniversary and Bri's birthday party are now complete. My dad also had some surgery on Tuesday, so I was at the hospital the whole day. This past week has been so busy and a bit stressful.

 After Tuesday, I hope to start breathing again.

I hope.

Briana is not the "I love school" type of kid. She'd be happy if summer vacation lasted all year round. She loves her sleep (as you can see above), she likes to play and she likes her freedom. She's already stressing a little bit about Venture unfortunately, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Venture doesn't start until two weeks into the school year.

Good news is that she has a very good friend that will be in her class this year. Somehow, these two girls have been in class every single year together - it is quite amazing! I can breathe a bit easier in that department now. And B's new teacher seems great (I've heard great things about her), so I'm hoping for a really good year...

So starting tomorrow, I am back to rising early, sitting in car line, making lunches and helping with homework. Dreaded homework. Bri already has an "all about me" project due on Friday. Sigh.

I have a ton to blog about, but it will have to wait a few days. Things should calm down a bit after Bri's birthday.

Fingers crossed...
