I wish I were in paradise. But no, I'm here. In Ohio. Ohio is paradise if you like icky weather. Yesterday 94 degrees. Today 61 degrees. There's just something so wrong about that. And what's worse is that I sent the kids to school today without jackets (I figured it would warm up....). Bad Mommy.
It also occurred to me today that the Little Man has no pants to wear to school. He has shorts. But no pants. I think I better rectify that situation sooner versus later. This is Ohio after all and it could snow tomorrow (OK maybe not, but it could snow in a month).
Not much is new around here. We are starting to settle into a school routine. It's not easy but I think we are getting there. I'm trying to get more organized around here too. I'm trying to be more organized without being obsessive about it. When I get obsessive about something I burn out...FAST.
I've taken to menu planning again. And that has made life easier. It's also helping me keep the grocery bill under control a little bit. The grocery bill is so out of control sometimes you'd think I was feeding a family of 10 instead of a family of 4.
That also means that I'm cooking again. I have several recipes to add to the recipe blog, now I just need to find the time to get over there and do it.
I think I need to organize my time too.
So far school is going pretty well food allergy wise. He did get left out of 2 "ice cream" days because no one told me about them. There is now safe ice cream and cupcakes safely nestled in the freezer at school for him. I'm his "room mom" this year and I did send out a request that everyone give the teacher ample notice of birthday celebration so that I can send in a safe treat, but I thought I better stick some in the freezer just in case. I'm also signed up for the field trips so that we don't have a repeat of last year (I have the sheets and jumped on ahead of everyone but there are still more spaces available... not that I would have cared).
Other than that it's soccer games, soccer practice times two.
And Older Boy wants to play the saxophone (we'll see about that one).
But that's all that's new with us. What's new with you?

I need to organize my time as well, just never seem to have enough hours in a day anymore! Good to hear that the boys have settled into the school routine once again. School started the day after Labour Day over here and I'm still getting used to hearing the buses driving by on the street again! lol
Yesterday I was gone to a Fall Fair (will blog about it tomorrow) and today I've been packing quite a few things that I sold on eBay. Now I'm visiting a few blogs, trying to catch up with everyone which I don't think will ever happen! lol xoxo
