Hello August!
It’s the first weekend of the month and time to catch up over coffee. I’m joining Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date.
August Ultimate Coffee Date
Over coffee, I would tell you about the sheer chaos going on at my house at the moment. The painters we hired back in May have finally started working on our house. Thanks to a ridiculously rainy spring, they have been way behind schedule and were just able to start work here last week. After agonizing over paint colors, I cannot wait to see the final product!
Over coffee, I would tell you that the back-to-school drumbeat is starting to get louder and no one in my house wants to listen! I have started to quietly nag suggest that my boys start diving into their required reading books. But, I admit I cannot bring myself to brave the school supplies aisle at Target yet.
Over coffee, I would tell you that I’m really looking forward to taking some days off at the end of the month! This summer has just flown by far too quickly for me. There is still much left on my summer wishlist, so now the trick is to maximize my days off and still feel rested come Labor Day.
What would you tell me over coffee? Do you have any time off planned?
No matter how much we get done, it’s just never enough! We have to cram so much into such a short period of time up here in the NE.
Even though I love to read, let me just say I’m glad I never had required school reading over the summer! Poor kids.

Totally feel you on taking day off! I’m taking the week of August 19th off and just doing a staycation but I’m looking forward to having some time off!

I would tell you to just order all of your school supplies on line. It’s so much easier and I think I actually buy less that way. I just donated a bunch of unopened supplies from years past that were never touched. Thanks for catching up over coffee!

I feel you, taking days off is impoirtant to recover mind and body energies.
Now I have plenty of time …. off. After 41 years working I retired!

It is so hard having your house rearranged for painting and to have painters in the house, but the results will be worth it. I’ve heard you can do that back to school shopping on line — but it depends if your kids like to pick things out.

I can’t believe that some kids have already gone back to school, it seems WAY too early! Let’s ride out the summer as long as possible! I hope you enjoy your upcoming getaway.

OMG that meme!!
School starts in August here so this weekend is the state’s “Tax Free Weekend” a little gift from the state to parents and the retail industry. I spent Friday night and Saturday morning back to school shopping with a less than thrilled 13 year old.
It was almost as much fun as it sounds. 😉
Summer always goes by too quickly doesn’t it? That’s why we have to squeeze it all in…
