As summer ends.....

Wow! Hard to believe that it is August....time to get ready to go back to school. New shoes, paper, pencils, folders, backpacks, lunch boxes.......and even a few new "fun" school things! Usually this time of year I am stocking up.....buying a dozen of everything, some for my kids and some for my classroom. But this year is different....no classroom to buy supplies for, no students to buy things for. Only people to buy for are the boys.....already we have bought new shoes for Alex, a new backpack for Evan and lunchboxes for both! I think I will wait until their teachers let us know what they need so that we don't have tons of extras to store!

As for me......as the boys head back to school and I am not yet on the substitute list, I have lots of time to spend with myself. One of my goals for the month is to start losing some of the weight I gained last year while being so stressed.....I'm back on WW and hoping to lose at least 5 lbs by the end of the month.
