Back to School and back to routine

School starts in just 10 more days.  Emily is going into 7th grade and Erin into 5th.  Man, is this going fast. 

Last week we picked up Emily's schedule.  Lots of hype over getting a piece a paper.  She spent all afternoon finding out she had no classes with any of her friends.  Which I understand not having any of the electives with none of her friends because one is an athlete, one is a wanting band, one is a drama queen and Emily is into choir but her basics?  She is taking PreAP English, PreAP Math, and PreAP Science and her three best friends are too.  How many PreAP classes are there?  This is the same 350 kids she went to school with last year, come on.  Anyway, being the laid back kid she is, she wasn't upset in the least.  Just OK and prepared me a supply list to go shopping for.  Got to love that kid.  She makes my life so easy.

Now if she would just plan her 13th birthday party for me I would be all set.

Erin doesn't find out about her team until the 10th.  So we don't know if she will be with any of her friends or not.  She is patiently anticipating though.  She feels like she knows that school already from going up there for her sister's parent/teacher conferences and art night.  We shall see.  There is one friend from day care she is really wanting on her team because when they opened a new school 3 years ago and did the rezoning she was moved to another school and they no longer got to see each other.  She so wants to get to spend time with her again.

Negative vs. Positive

Wow!!!!  I was just typing a post (which I deleted before I posted it) about my job and while thinking about it and my last post I realize. "Dang I'm sure negative."  That isn't like me.  I'm always the up beat one, the Polly Anna of the group.
