Summer's Almost Over

I can't believe summer is almost over & the kids will head back to school in less than two weeks.  Since I have been working nights all summer it seems we haven't gotten to do a whole lot of day activities.  When I was in nursing school we spent the whole summer traveling the roads, at the pool/water park, playing baseball.  Now I work & sleep (or try to sleep).  Eight hour nights are a whole lot easier to survive on very little sleep...which I am thankful for!  I am usually up by lunch time, but really don't feel like doing anything except staying in the house where it is cool.  The sun hurts my eyes, because I am used to being asleep when it is out.  Night shift can sure mess your whole body and mind up.  Maybe someday soon I can get a day shift job!

Tomorrow we are taking a day trip to the water park.  Please say a prayer for a good trip.  I will be running on NO sleep, because I have to work all night.  We wanted to do something with the kids before schools started back.  It is much harder taking five kids somewhere vs. taking two.  Some trips are great and the kids are all well behaved & some trips are disasters before we even leave the driveway.  I hope they all wake up in a good mood tomorrow.

We have so many things to do before school starts back.  Here are some of them...

*School supplies for all the kids

*School shoes

*Morgan's physical & shots

*Get the kids registered for their new school (more on this later)

*Open House to meet the teachers

I may have to take out a small loan...lol  Thankfully a family member has already taken Morgan shopping & Spencer is going this weekend.  They should be set on clothes until winter.  Haylee, Harley & Gracie are only here half the week, so they have plenty of clothes.
