I can feel it. Can you feel it? It is upon us now. What? Going back to school. Yes, I know that the stores have had supplies in since July but we are now beginning the last two weeks of summer vacation stretch. I have to make a lists or something. I have to prepare. Get it in my head. Make the mental switch over from one to the other. I can see it coming like a giant wave out on the horizon. You know?
I begin with discipline. I start making sure that our schedule of staying up too late and other summertime behaviors begin to change. I begin to get up around 5 am and begin to get a routine going. I try to make the boys follow a set routine too.
I make lists of what needs to be bought. I have learned that buying all of it right now isn't necessary. I will buy a few new pants, shirts, and shoes to add to their wardrobe. What it really needed is underwear and socks. Out with the old... in with the new there. I also begin to shop for jackets etc because they are on sale. Ever try to find one when it is freezing outside?
Lists for meals, lunches as well as dinners. Also breakfasts are important. I have a bad start if these things aren't put into place.
How do you prepare for schools returning? Got any tips?
Have a great weeks!
