Huhhhhhhh.......Right now I am taking a much needed break from packing. I'm startin' to freak out. How much stuff is actually necessary for human survival? I am guessing we have more than enough. Huhhhhhhhh..........
Last week when we got a contract on the house I told Steve we are going to play a fun game for the remaining 2 weeks we have left in this house. It is called, "What can we make for dinner out of the food we already have". I am not packing up a bunch of food. We have a pantry and 2 refrigerators/freezers full of food. I really do have plenty of food for meals. Only we are running low in the snack department. Remember we had just gone on a trip right before we sold the house so I hadn't gone shopping for a while before that. So last night I was starving. I went to find a snack. This is what I had: a glass of OJ, a handful of crasins, and a chunk of peanut butter cookie dough. All of those things in and of themselves are quite tasty. Together, not so good.
I think I am the only person in the world who hasn't watched any of the Olympics. None. And guess what? I have zero desire to.
I think it is funny how life works. At the end of the school year back in May, I was so ready for school to be over. I was so sick of schedules. I was sick of having to get everyone up and ready and out the door every morning. I was sick of pre-school drop off and pick up. I was sick of homework. I was sick of bedtimes. I needed a break. Well right now, a week before school starts, I am so ready for it to start. I am sick of not being on a schedule. I can't wait to get back into our nice little organized routines. I am ready for my children to go to bed at a decent time. Holy cow am I ready for that.
I guess I better go back......and pack. Jack.

I am loving the Olympics! I have watched as much as I can.
Good luck with the eating thing. That sounds like fun.
I can't wait for my child to go back to school either! I think most parents feel this way, right? Or is it just us?
I am right there with you, Allyson. If I have to be the lone voice of reason and calm in a houseful of squabbling children very much longer, I will lose it.
Just kidding, I already lost it. The kids are now cowering in fear and can't wait to go back to school where their teachers have to be nice to them by law.
Congrats on the sale of your house. Hope everything goes through. Good luck on the move.
