I've got 15 days to go. But one of them is driving now, so we've got to come up with rules for using the car. Would I rather have her take the bus, or would I rather have to pick her up every day after school. Duh!

Plastic forks in the electric sockets are a super energy saving idea, and inthe winter, they'll help prevent drafts! She peed on my side of the bed? I must have fallen asleep on the sofa. Those 'sippy cups' are just about putrid enough to stuff into my ex's suitcase. I'll give them a few more days in the sun. I'm painting the boogers with 'White Out' letting them harden, then painting over the whole thing. Like the texture??? SOOO chic. Thanks again, Terri.

My kids still have 2 weeks before school starts. Two long weeks of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Summers are a killer with near full-time child care bills. Once school starts that's one expense that disappears and we can try to catch up on all the bills we've been putting off for the summer and maybe start answering our phone again.

White out! And I've been scraping them off for 15 minutes at a time. Walmart list: Soap, white out, duct tape, peanut butter and a cotton candy maching for Jayc's kids with extra sugar for extra big fluffs of sugar.

One thing I did to fight the expense was talk to other parents. We'd schedule our vacations so Sandy would get the first 2 summer weeks, Bridget would get the next two, I'd get the two after that... yeah..kinda meant that we couldn't leave the city while on vacation, and it meant that each of us would have 5 extra kids, but we saved $$$$ (and ate meat occasionally.) |

Boys and Girls Club? Are those still around?
We can't wait until next year, the oldest will be 11 going on 12. I think that's the age he can at least stay home alone. I believe at 12 he can baby-sit the younger one.

Went shopping for school supplies yesterday. (Yes, I know mine go back on Monday. Yes, I KNOW I put it off until the last minute. YES, I KNOW THAT MEANS EVERYTHING IS PICKED OVER AND MY SON NEEDS EIGHT DIFFERENT COLOR FOLDERS FOR SOME FREAKIN' REASON AND THEY ONLY HAVE SEVEN. I KNOWIKNOWIKNOW! Sorry. I spent yesterday with my mother.
Whew. Ate some chocolate. I'm better. On the bright side, only walked out with a few extra supplies for myself. mmmmmm. Smell the new paper.

We started soccer practice last night. I'm about to lose my Saturday morning writing time. Four productive hours. Gone from my schedule.

That sux, but on the other hand you can yell insults at the umpire.
