Remaining Summer Plans

For a weekend that contained very little other than a Harry Potter marathon weekend on ABC Family, I feel incredibly tired. Part of this seems to be the fact that, no matter how tired I am, when I finally get to go to bed at night, I lie there unable to fall to sleep. So during the day, I'm exhausted. I wish I could break this cycle and feel less tired during the day.

The kids love it because they're getting to sleep longer each day. This will have to stop in a couple of weeks though, because school starts back in three weeks. They'll have to be getting up and getting ready for school early in the day. I'm actually looking forward to earlier bedtimes with the hopes I can get myself used to them. I'll miss the kids during the day, though, but it'll be nice to have some time with Monkey each day since he doesn't start school until next year. I'll have a 3rd grader, a 4th grader and a 7th grader this year. Seems so weird to think I'll have kids in school this year, lol! Will take some getting used to!

With such a short time left before school starts, we have several trips planned for the kiddos! This weekend we're going to see the site where Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed and then going on to a zoo. The following weekend, we're headed to the beach. The last weekend before school starts, we're going school clothes shopping. Lots to look forward to!

This afternoon, though, I have to go tackle the grocery shopping. With 4 children. By myself. Lord help me!
