Good Grief....

Ok, so if there is an award for blog slackness, I get it this week. Have mercy- it has been so busy here I am about to lose my mind! If I have to go to one more store to look for one more school supply item I think I'll scream. Why, pray tell, don't the schools give out these lists at the end of the year for the next grade?? I know I am half crazy because I went to Wal-Mart today to look for this one thing I couldn't find anywhere and it was like stepping into a warzone in that place. But- I do finally have everything and the girls are set. They got in bed on time tonight and I have their clothes out and juice and snacks all packed. Every year on the first day of school it takes extra long to get to school, so we will have to leave around 7:15, 7:20 in the morning. As for the outfits, I went to Gaffney to the outlets yesterday and did manage to find a red and black dress for Emmaline, but Annelise's black and white skirt set was nowhere. I got her some stuff with a few sequins on it from the Gymboree outlet and she was happy with that. (You can never go wrong with sequins for Annelise...) Meanwhile, my insomnia has only gotten worse and I have had 2 migraines (real ones, where my hands go numb and I get sick) in the past 2 weeks. I have only had 2 before that in my whole life, so I don't know why I have had another 2 all of a sudden. Last night I didn't fall asleep until after 6am and I got up at 10 am. I had 4 million things to do and managed to get some of it done- so I'm ok with that. Needless to say I had a date with a dose of Nyquil about 30 minutes ago and should be good to go for at least 8 hours tonight. For tommorrow-I have this tradition for the first day of school where I go and spend the whole day (until noon, anyway) at Barnes and Noble and read magazines and drink a yummy coffee concoction until it's time to go get Emmaline. I wasn't going to do it tommorrow because I have really got sooo much to do at home. Then I decided I was going to because the cleaning can wait. I have already gotten teary-eyed thinking about my big baby starting 1st grade and my little baby starting kindergarten, so I will need to go drown my sorrows in a People and a chocolate coffee something. If this post is blabbery or something isn't spelled correctly, please forgive me- the Nyquil is on board and seems to be working................. Oh- some very good news to share- we got tickets to the Clemson/Alabama game - which is awesome enough. But to make it even more awesome- they are in the lower deck and on the 40 yard-line. So, all is truly right with my world for now. Now if we can find a hotel room somewhere, we'll be doing ok! Hope school goes well for everyone this week!!! Nighty-night, now. (PS- thanks for all the sweet comments on my pics below. You all made my week!)
