Last Day of Summer Break

Both kids had their well visits this morning. They are both very tall, and they are even catching up in the weight department. The flu vaccine wasn’t ready yet so they didn’t get those (bummer!) but the pediatrician had checked with the pharmacy about filling my daughter’s ADHD meds and they were finally getting them in today, so she cancelled the request I put in last week at another pharmacy and put in a request there. AND I JUST GOT THE TEXT THAT THEY FILLED IT! I’ve been trying to get her meds filled for six weeks but the shortage is so bad right now. Even after they changed her Rx I still couldn’t get it filled. I’m so relieved she can start school tomorrow with her medicine.

At home they both had to clean their rooms and organize their desks to play some video games (a special treat for the last day or summer). They both did a good job.

I finally took the shower curtain off the kitchen island and decided to oil and wax the wood block while it was clear. I don’t think we’ve ever oiled or waxed it in over 10 years and it really needed it.

After video games they were spinning their wheels a little anxiously so we walked to the library and got boba on the way home. One of the cats did something horrible in one of the boxes so I did the big clean on both of them.

I got the kids’ new backpacks out and they made their lunches. I washed the new clothes from Target and my daughter chose her outfit. They are ready to go!

And now I’m on the bus headed to the dojo. I am relieved to be out of the house and away from the kids for these final hours. I definitely need a break. Tomorrow I’m taking them both to school, then running some errands. I was going to go down to work but I think I’ll stay home and enjoy the final hours of my summer break there. Thursday I’m officially back on the clock.
