Back to school on the Peoria.com Forums

Have you staarted your back to school routines yet? We have started earlier bedtimes and reading/writing everynight. I can't believe it is time to go back already...and that I am mother to a first grader!

We've started the bedtime routine that is about it.

Backpacks are filled and ready, lunch boxes dug out, school clothes gone through.. and we've been reading all summer.. or trying when we aren't dead tired at night.

Bedtime and morning routines are going to suck for us!

So much to do, so little time.

We have stayed on the school schedule as far as bedtime and getting up time all summer since she had to go intot he office with me each day. We have school supplies bought and are just waiting to buy uniforms until we hear back about her getting into St Thomas.

I do feel bad that she didn't really get any "time away" this summer. She usually gets to spend at least a week with an Aunt. Just couldn't get schedules worked out so she could.

Hoping to get in at least a week-end getaway before school starts but still not sure if we're going to be able to swung it.

Time to go back already?? When the heck does school start?

August 15th here.

16th and 17th.

27th.. I may be one less child before then at the rate they are hurting each other around here
lately.
