Dear Me > Back To School

School has begun and thank goodness because the whirlwind - "OH MY GOODNESS, school starts on Tuesday and we have a whole bunch of activities to do before then" has exhausted me, and I don't even have kids at home, I'm just the Grandma!  I have to say that I like to involve Mr. Glossy Flossy too, so that he can go to work on Monday exhausted from the weekend.  His chores were: 

• Get Jet Ski unwinterized so we can use it on Monday.
• Buy new battery for Jet Ski because we apparently need to buy a new one every year.
• Go to store - twice - for items I needed.
• Swim, play badminton, play bean bag toss & basketball with 3 boys with boundless energy.
• Barbecue hamburgers. (Apparently, these kids only eat burgers in the finest of restaurants because they wondered why the onions weren't "grilled." 
• Put up movie screen outdoors.
• Lug a GIANT projector outdoors. (I need one of those new little projectors instead of my dinosaur - now I see why they call old things dinosaurs, because they are BIG - but I digress)
• Move loungers in front of movie screen.
• Get fire pit ready to roast marshmallows.
• And finally roast marshmallows & sleep through "Mars Needs Moms."(Watch for an upcoming post and photos from our Outdoor Movie Night party!)

I wasn't even this tired when my own kids were small!!!
