Homespun Truth

It's officially the last week of summer and I'm well on my way to loosing my mind.

Just kidding.

I'm simply looking at my to-do lists and my want-to-do lists. They are both pretty long. It seems what I'm really going to have to do is make some priority assessments and then get myself moving a little faster. Somehow, summer always makes me move slower.

It's also the time of year to order up for school supplies. For us homeschoolers it means books. Lots of books! It's a job, a joy, and a stress all in one. It's a joy because who doesn't love new books! It's a job to sort out what you need from what you want.

The stress part? It's just a personality thing. I love to be able to get everything I want and get it all at once. It's hard for me to pare it down to what we really need and then harder still to realize that I don't need to buy it all at once. Spreading out the purchases over the school year will be just as good as getting one giant box from the big brown van.

Not much else going on around here, just gearing up for the big start of school. Along with regular school starting, we'll be starting choir and high school team again. Tons of fun, but life on the run.

I'm off to work on my lists and laundry. I'm trying to finish up the assignment sheets, lesson plans and copy making this week. At the least, I'd love to have the first few weeks ready to go!!
