Back to School, back to the grind!


It's that time of year. As I regret that summer has come and gone, I'm glad to get back into the swing of things. I like structure, and I do better with my exercise during the school year. It's much less tempting to snooze the alarm when I know I have to get kids up and ready for the day as well. I also do better during the school year with planning ahead for meals, so, there you have it. Although, I'm not looking forward to the hectic schedules and policing the homework, I am looking forward to the structure, for a chance to get some cooler weather, to football and to getting into smaller clothes this fall. Happy Tuesday!

I love structure! I am struggling without it. But I also love the summer and we can't have both. :-(
Sadly I would have to settle for structure.
Happy Tuesday :-)

Happy Tuesday Tessie!! I like structure as well. School time always seems to do for me too.

Structure really helps me get accomplished what I want to, too. I don't work and hubby is out of a job, so we have very little structure right now, and it's hard!

Happy Tuesday to you!

Ahhhh, no more school aged kids living at home!! This is the second year in a row! Although I miss the structure, I do not miss the papers, homework, lunch money, bus schedule, clothes etc. I am however, looking forward to some cooler weather and football!

I just wanted to say that I love you! I was on LBT for the first time in three months, and I stumbled across a message you had left me back in December!

I kinda miss the chaos that back to school brought! Ok, not so much....but I do miss my girls and sometimes wish that they were still little and needed me more!

Summer has come and gone? I guess for me here in Florida, even with me working for a univeristy and my daughter back in school, if it doesn't FEEL like fall, it is still summer for us! That is one of the reasons i am so excited about Chicago. It will be a bit cooler and actually FEEL like fall!
