... and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, just a fat cat playing with her toy mouse.
It is almost like Christmas Eve in my house tonight. The anticipation is pulsing through the house. The two bigger kids start school tomorrow. They couldn't be more excited. I keep telling myself to enjoy these days because I'm sure the days of leaping out of bed and running into school will not last much longer.
We have been preparing the kids for tomorrow for about a week now. It sounds funny, but our house needs to be a will oiled machine in the mornings by the last week of August when everyone in the house will be out of the door by 8. The kids have been going to bed earlier. They have been waking up like it was a school day. They both have school clothes picked out, from shoes to under-roos. I spent the majority of the day getting ready to make 5 lunches by dividing out crackers, grapes, carrots, etc into individual bags. I have sandwiches made up and ready to go too. It is all ready to be thrown into lunch boxes Water bottles are filled and in the fridge. Hopefully it will all help to make things flow easily in the morning.
This school year I have kids getting on the bus at 7 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. I'm afraid my oldest will be walking into school a zombie. She is just like her dad. They need plenty of time to wake up in the morning before the brain juices are flowing. Can you say early to bed?
Speaking of early to bed, I should probably head that way too. Wish me luck in the morning!
