Back Again

I have been busy - but isn't that what everyone says on these things after they haven't posted in a while. I was able to go to a few auctions over the last month, my Mom came for a visit for her birthday, and back to school shopping. I have less than a week to get everything ready for two of my three kids to have everything ready for school. Biggest problem is my 5 year old needs a dentist appointment within a week. I left this up to my husband to get the appointment - THREE MONTHS AGO. Still no appointment and from what the school is telling me he can't start without the dentist form filled out.
I'll be happy once school starts and everyone gets into the routine. Right now it is the bumpy part of the road. too much scheduled and not enough time or energy in the day. Next week is my daughters first day at third grade in a new school. That is Tuesday which is also the day my son goes for testing for Kindergarden. He is the nervous type so it will be a tense day. Wednesday he has a doctor's appointment but at least it is only a check up. He starts school on Friday.
Speaking of bumpy road, on Saturday we blew a tire on the turnpike. It was the most nerve racking, terrible experience I have ever had to go through with my children. Image three children stuck in carseats, my mom, my husband, and myself stuck on a bend on the turnpike during busy traffic. We couldn't get out of the carthe side of the road because there was a huge drop off on the side of the road. We had to call highway patrol to sit behind us. After an hour and a half we were back on the road. The worst of all of it was we were less than ten miles away from home. I can breath noW!!!!!!
