Just a week and a half to go.
The kids go back to school on August 9th and it isn't soon enough for me.
They have been pretty good over all this summer but the older they get, the more playing becomes rough housing.
It's a boy thing I'm told. Testosterone flowing, testing their muscles.
It's enough to drive a mom nuts.
Sis and I are going to go out this weekend and pick up their school supplies before the tax free week is over Sunday night.
I can get some free supplies so we are going to do that first and then go get the rest of it all.
Shoes, pants, shorts, notebooks, pens, pencils. Gah! It's so much stuff.
I nearly passed out when i saw Sebastian's list of things he needed.
Yay that he is in AOT but damn people, that list is like for a kid in college.
I am excited though that they will be going back.
No more mom I'm bored, mom he hit me, mom he touched me, mom he won't give back my *insert name of whatever oh so important object here*.
No, it will be peaceful again.
It will be quiet and I will be able to get things done without having to re-do it 10 minutes later.
I'll actually get to watch the noon news without someone telling me how boring it is or changing the channel because I was in the bathroom and they didn't think I'd notice.
I love school.

I still don't have Marks list. The teachers, I was just told, don't even have it together yet. That's really nice. Asswipes.
They did that last year too. They waited until like 3 days before school started to post a list on the front door of the class room.
Here is Sebastian's list so you can see what I am talking about. This is 6th grade:
