Personally, I thought it dragged on

Only a weekend stands between me and the first day of school. I would say where did the summer go, but honestly, it felt twice as long as usual. We did all of our fun stuff at the beginning and pretty much nothing in August. Next year, it will be even longer with the kids getting out of school three weeks earlier than the county schools.

Today is a busy day. Victoria has a hair appointment at 11:45 with Gareth the cute British stylist. So I have to be up and presentable. I could use a trim myself, but I'm not going back to school, so I'll just wait for now. Instead I think I'll go back to the store and get some more of that blueberry muffin top cereal. We're almost out already. Seriously, that was good stuff.

Yesterday she worked with my mom. My mom took Victoria and my niece to the mall directly after paying them where she proceeded to spend the money she had earned. She's a bargain hunter though. She ended up with the Hollister hoodie she had been spying for awhile, a belt, and some jewelry. She even remembered to pay me back the money she owed me for highlighting kit. She's a good kid.

Tonight my small group cleans the church then we have an orientation at the new school. It would've been nice if our last non-school day was leisurely and carefree, but it wasn't meant to be.

The first week of school won't be too crazy. No games yet for Alex and Victoria. After that, they will have games on Mondays and Tuesdays and practice on Tuesday and Thursday. Then we have our church children's programs on Wednesday night. Steve and I are both working with it. Steve heads up game time for Awana. I worked with the middle school last year. I assume I'll do the same as I haven't heard from my brother in law as to whether he needs me or not. He's the children's ministry pastor or something like that. Heh. I don't think I got that title right. Rob, feel free to correct me if I didn't!
