Time's a Flying By
Can it really be that the kids go back to school five weeks from today? According to the calendar they do but it sure doesn't feel like we're at the half way point of summer break.
So far this week a lot of our time has been taken up with appointments. I always try to schedule the kids checkups, dental visits etc. during their summer break so they don't have to miss classes. This year Stephanie had to get a bunch of paperwork filled out by our local doctor for college and get booster shots. The boys lucked out and didn't need any boosters this year.
So most of Monday was taken up with checkups and yesterday was the dentist. Today Steph had to get her final orthodontic X-rays (she got her braces off last week!) and then a quick run back to the doctor to get the TB tests read. They still need to get their annual eye screenings and then everyone will be set for the new school year.
We still have quite a bit of shopping to do for Stephanie's dorm room but she won't get her roommate assignment until next week so we decided to wait until they've had a chance to talk before we get to much. A lot of what they'll need will be shared so I'm hoping maybe they can split the list and each get half of what's needed. We move her in to the dorm one month from today and I have a feeling that August is going to fly by.
We've all been so busy that we've yet to get to the beach yet this summer, usually we head down there at least once a week. But now that I've gotten the several of the articles due about the news from Shore Leave done and have caught up a bit on book reviews I won't feel guilty taking off to spend the day at the beach so it's time to break out the boogie boards and head for Malibu!
