The countdown has begun!

School starts 1 week from today!!! OMG! The summer has flown by! I am beyond ready for school to start back up and whether she wants to admit it or not I think Mykenzie is too. She needs that structure and we just don't have it during the summer we just go with the flow and do what we feel like doing. We have had a fun summer but all good things must end. I just wish starting back to school meant the weather automatically cooled off some too. It is supposed to be 101 degrees today before the "heat index" (I hate the heat index aka feels like temp) so I have been told. That is NUTS! I am thinking of going to the county fair tomorrow for Kaylee's bday but it is just so darn hot! We may still go though, we'll see.

This week will be crazy for us. The girls both have a dentist appointment, Kaylee has her 4 year check up, hair cuts, back to school shopping (got bday shopping done yesterday), Kaylee's birthday ect. Plus I want to have some fun thrown in there too since it is Mykenzie's last week off.

I am so nervous to start another school year, as excited as I am for summer to be over. Last year we had such a horrible time and a horrible teacher. I am nervous about 3rd grade and all the homework it will bring. It just seems like once 3rd grade comes that is when the hard things to learn begin. I am just praying that we get a wonderful teacher this year and that things go much more smoothly so Mykenzie can enjoy her 3rd grade year. 3rd grade for me is the year where I have most of my memories start. I remember a very select few from the years prior to that but I remember alot about third grade and the years after that. If that ends up being the case for Mykenzie as well I want those memories to be good and happy ones. Cross your fingers for her.


***A quick update on Travis. The surgery went well, he was sore for a few days but is on the mend and back to work today. Now lets just all say a quick prayer that it actually worked and it wasn't all for nothing. I was about to kill him at times during this and I so don't want to go through it again, I am sure he doesn't either.

Hope you get to do some fun things before school starts. I'm ready for it to cool down temp wise too. Crossing my fingers that Mykenzie gets a great teacher this year and has an excellent school year. Glad to hear Travis is doing better too. Will keep my fingers crossed that it took care of everything.
