Life Marches On..

Well, I just got the news that Chris is traveling to Denver, yet again...thankfully only for a 2 day trip though. This is his job, his job pays our bills, it pays to keep a roof over our heads, and it pays for our sources of transportation and our kids education, just to name a few. It is what it is and until we get that money tree planted....this will be our life. I will warn you in advance though, Chris will be gone for over 2 weeks beginning September 11th and I just might go nutty. We have never been apart for more than 10 days. On a happier note, our Fall schedules are finally fallng into place. Chelsea is taking Gymnastics and Irish Step on Thursday evenings. Nolan's hockey schedule changes every 4 weeks, but from now until September 4th it looks like he'll be busy with that on Saturdays and Sundays and Wednesdays. It should be interesting since we only know his schedule 4 weeks at a time. Summer is winding down quickly for us. I am cramming into 2 weeks what I should have had all summer to get done but I procrastinated, as usual. The kids are getting their pics taken this week, Kylie's 2 year pics, and a group one of the kids that I do every summer. They also have dentist appointments coming up that are required to go back to school! I'm sad to see summer coming to an end, but the kids NEED to go back to school. They complain of boredom every single day now. I told them not to worry, i'm sure that after one week at school "boredom" won't even be in their vocabulary anymore! Call me crazt, but I am letting Chelsea bring a friend along with us to Erie on Thursday! She hasn't had a single friend over even one time this summer, and I promised her we would have her friends over all the time. Time just seems to pass me by without even staying for a visit! So, I will be taking myself, Chelsea, Nolan, and friend Chloe to the beach for the day. Chloe will be spending the night with us Wednesday night so we can get going in the morning to drop off Kylie at my Grandma's house. I also need to squeeze in one more trip to my sis-in-laws house before school. Which just reminded me, that's the last thing I have on my current to-do list...call Sherri and schedule a trip to her house. Gonna do that now...before something else distracts me. Have a good evening!
