I'm feeling like I have 35 unfinished projects and 0 motivation to finish any of them. I just got my welcome back letter for school. Staff reports Sept. 1 and 2, students start after Labor Day. I'm not feeling sad about the summer winding down. I never do accomplish half of what I set out to do. I'm just feeling kind of bleh. Unmotivated. I am attempting to pick up one of those many projects and finish it so I can move on to something new.
We did DS's back to school supply shopping at Staples today. Got 100% of the items on his list, on sale and extra to donate the "fill the bus" project that will be at tonight's street festival. His new teacher and one of her daughters walked in behind us which was neat. DS doesn't know her well but her DH and youngest son were just at our Scout camp week with us. We chatted a bit and I found out that one of last year's 3rd graders is leaving and one new student is joining the class so we still have 15 kids in the class at this point. I am thinking it is going to be DS's best year yet. 5th grade will bring a large jump in class size as more parents pull their kids out of the failing public schools because that is when they move up to the Middle School which has a terrible reputation.
SO one new project is going to be getting DS's desk organized and our schedule mapped out. He is going to be busy. I already talked to his riding instructor about scaling waaaay back for September. He is going to start swim lessons. He wants to join the band but can't decide on an instrument. Not sure how to proceed with that. He is also talking about joining the chorus again. Obviously with Scouts we are going to have to put the brakes on somewhere!
I also found out it took 3 days for her DH to recover from camp! And he's 4 years younger than me!! Made me feel a lot better!!
