Back To School
I can’t believe it is time to get back to school. The summer just flew by. Will started school on Monday, and Madison starts tomorrow. We just made a few tweaks the last week or so to get the kids ready for school. The first thing I did was take the kids in for doctors appointments and eye doctor appointments. It is very good that I did that because that’s how we found out Will needed glasses! We also picked up new clothes for school (or for Madison – uniforms). We made sure everybody’s shoes fit — Madison went from a 13 to a 2.5 in gym shoes!!!! Her dress shoes I had to buy with about 1 month left of school, so thankfully they still fit. We’ve also moved their bedtimes earlier and have gotten them up earlier in the morning. Another thing is school supplies. I luck out that I can order them right from Madison’s school in May, and we picked them up 2 weeks ago at Book Bill Day. However, for those other things you need (like emergency contact cards, allergy cards, play date cards, academic planners, etc), you can check out Tiny Prints. They have such great quality items, and I’ve loved everything I’ve ever ordered from there.
How do you plan for back to school time? Any tips you’d like to share?

Eye Surgery – Oh My!
As many you may remember, I’ve had a sty on my eye since June. Yes, you read that correctly — June. Well, I still have it. About a week ago (per a request from my eye doctor), I visited a surgeon. I’ll be having this removed next Wednesday. I’ve got a 7-14 day recovery, and I may not be able to drive for a few days. (Getting the kids to school will be interesting). We are at the point that leaving it isn’t an option since it isn’t going to go away on its own any time soon. Instead, it can change the shape of my eyelid. I’m currently on an eyedrop antibiotic and an oral antibiotic. After the surgery, I think we’ll add a topical one. :) I’m glad I can keep Walgreens in business. :)
Wish me luck!
