Loki’s got the Monday grumpies too…
I’ve got a migraine today, a really evil-nausea inducing head-splitting migraine, and a bad case of the grumpies… The hot weather is back, we seem to have new neighbors across the street that can’t seem to park in front of their house and take my spot instead, and I got crappy mail today. Yeah, it is going to be one of those days all day, and I’m sure Nico’s grumpy list is going to keep growing as the day goes on.
Let me know what is making you grumpy today.
July has come and gone, and I’ve got my coupon savings totaled for the month. I’m pretty happy about these savings too. In the month of July I saved $24.15 by using coupons, and that brings my year to date total up to $86.31! Not too bad. Let’s see how August goes, I’ve got to stock up on a lot of groceries and school lunch supplies this month. Bring on the savings.
Wow, where did the Summer go? It is time for school to start, and it is also time for a monthly Dinner menu. Here is what I have planned for the month of August.
It is also time to make a run to Aldi and restock the kitchen pantry for the month. I also need to get stocked up with school lunch supplies for Thade. August looks like it is going to be a busy month, but dinner is all planned.
Yesterday was one of those days where I woke up worried, and dreading kindergarten enrollment. Don’t let Thade know, but Mommy was a nervous wreck! I debated going grocery shopping while Thade was at VBS, or head over to enrollment, I decided to go to enrollment. My best friend Stacey had warned me that enrollment takes awhile, and Thade isn’t a fan of waiting. So while we had a few hours, just Dylan and me, I got the paper-work together, and off to enrollment we went.
There was a pretty good crowd already, and a big table full of items that needed filled out and signed. I ran into a few friends there, so that helped my mood, and any questions that I had too. Once the initial paperwork was finished, then Dylan and I made the rounds to the ten other stations to complete enrollment.It took a little over an hour, but I’ll know what to do next year.
I saw Thade’s school principal and met the school nurse again too, and I even met a new mommy that has just moved to town. Dylan loved enrollment, he got to meet a lot of new kids, and I think he really wished that he was going to Kindergarten too. I got a lot of information about the school, and I think Thade will have a fun school year.
We just have a few more items to get done before school starts, and the days are ticking away…
It’s school enrollment day, and I’m a worried mess already. I’d love to blame the fact that I am a basket-case Nico on preggers hormones, but it’s really because I’m not ready for my big kid to go to school just yet… I know he’ll do fine, and I know we’ll fall into a school routine that works for our family, but this mommy is having one tough day.
Seriously, who wouldn’t miss this cuteness all day?!?
Well if I can make it through the day without completely losing it and sobbing at enrollment, I’ll let you know.
