*** S-C-H-O-O-L ***

ON TO 2nd AND 3rd GRADE WE GO TODAY! WHILE MY HEART IS A LITTLE SAD, MY BRAIN IS IN PARTY MODE. THERE WILL BE 10 PARTIES AT MY HOUSE TODAY!

#1~ A JAX AND BRINKLEY PITY PARTY. START TIME 0700 HRS. (WHEN THEY WAKE FOR BREAKFAST) END TIME 0759 HRS (WHEN THEY REACH SCHOOL.) I am sure that once they see all their friends they will forget about home and television!!

#2~ A PUDGIE PARTY. PUDGIE WILL HAVE MOMMY ALL TO HIMSELF. TOYS GALORE AND NO ONE TO SNATCH THEM OUT OF HIS LITTLE BABY HANDS AND TELL HIM HE CAN NOT PLAY WITH THEM. We will play "big trucks" and littlest pet shops 'til we drop today!

#3~ A MOMMY'S PERFECTION PARTY. I WILL BE CLEANING THIS MESS OF A MONSTER OF A HOUSE WE HAVE BEEN RESIDING IN ALL SUMMER...I AM HONESTLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!! I STARTED IT LAST NIGHT!!! Call me crazy, but I really slacked all summer in the cleanliness category. Oh well, a clean house is a sign of a boring mom!!

#4~ A PUDGIE PITY PARTY. RIGHT ABOUT NAP TIME I THINK PUDGIE MIGHT JUST FIGURE OUT HE IS LONELY WITHOUT JAXI AND "GOKIE." HE WILL GET OVER IT ONCE HE FALLS ALSEEP. Pudgie can only last so long without big brother and sister. He tends to wander room to room calling for them when they are gone longer than an hour!

#5~ A MOMMY'S SLUMBER PARTY. I PLAN TO LET MYSELF DOZE OFF WITH PUDGIE WHEN I PUT HIM DOWN FOR HIS NAP. EVEN IF IT IS ONLY FOR 10 MINUTES... I DESERVE THIS!! I am so not a nap taker, but my body is screaming for some rest. Keeping the fingers crossed that this one pans out for me!!

#6~ A MOMMY'S PEACEFUL PARTY. TWO BABIES WILL SLEEP AT THE SAME TIME (TOMMY SLEEPS DURING THE DAY TOO) AND THIS HOUSE WILL BE SILENT. I may just sit on the couch staring at the wall for a few minutes!! Or...start my new book I just got for my birthday!

#7~ A MOMMY'S GARBAGE PARTY. WE HAVE COLLECTED A LOT OF "STUFF" OVER THE SUMMER. SUMMER'S OVER AND THE GARBAGE CANS ARE GONNA BE FULL! I am not too worried about missing toys. I am positive that the transformers and polley pockets have mated over the summer.....because they are EVERYWHERE!!!

#8~ A MOMMY'S PITY PARTY. I KNOW RIGHT ABOUT 2:15 I WILL MISS THE TWO LITTLE BUGS. I WILL MOST LIKELY GET ON OUR BLOG AND LOOK AT ALL THE FUN STUFF WE DID THIS SUMMER AND BE A LITTLE SAD THAT I YELLED TOO MUCH OR I DIDN'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME WITH THEM..... I TOO WILL GET OVER THIS. I always find it funny how kids can drive you to the brink of insanity and the minute they are gone for awhile, you miss them like crazy and your heart aches for a hug!

#9~ A MOMMY'S CAMOUFLAGE IT PARTY. MY LAST MINUTE, LAST DITCH EFFORT TO ORGANIZE THINGS SO IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE I THREW AWAY A PRECIOUS McDONALDS TOY OR A PIECE OF PAPER THAT HAS CLUTTERED MY KITCHEN COUNTERS FOR MONTHS! Agan, I am sure that the toys reproduced, so making it seem like nothing is gone will be no problem!

#10~ A BIG WELCOME HOME PARTY!! I AM SURE MY KIDS WILL COME HOME TIRED AND READY TO JUMP INTO THE POOL WITH SOME "FIRST DAY AFTER SCHOOL TREATS." I CAN NOT WAIT TO HEAR ALL THEIR EXCITING NEWS...WHO THEY GOT TO SIT NEXT TO, WHO THEY PLAYED WITH ON THE PLAYGROUND, WHAT WAS FOR LUNCH, WHO CHASED WHO AND WHAT KIND OF DRAMA ALREADY TOOK PLACE! A long first day will deserve some extra special TLC and fun! Of course we will be early, early to bed tonight, as I am sure they will be exhausted!!!!!!

THEN WE CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN TOMORROW!!!
