It’s 9:08 a.m. and I have NO IDEA what we’re going to do today. This fact is causing me great anxiety!
I’m feeling the pressure to make today super-fun for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which are a) it’s Monday and I’m not at work, and b) Andy and Kate are going to start school tomorrow and end their summertime routine of hanging out together all day long.
So we should definitely do something cool. But I don’t know what.
The only G-rated movie playing right now is “Ratatouille,” which we’ve already seen. So that’s out.
Um… let’s see. We could go to the local outdoor mall and let Kate play in the fountains, I suppose. There’s also a great bookstore there, and she loooves going there. So that might work… but that’s something we do quasi-often anyway.
We went shopping for school supplies yesterday (now she’s all set with her glue, paper towels. Lysol and baby wipes – how random is that list?), so that’s out… um… she doesn’t need *gasp* any more clothes…
Hmm… Well, there’s the children’s garden where Jenny takes her kids. That would be fun. It’s also the last day to use our pass to the swimming pool (which I’ve yet to enter this summer). We could go to the playground in town, or even find one nearby that we don’t go to regularly… now we’re getting somewhere.
Regardless of what we do, though, I know what I’m NOT going to be doing, and that’s staring at this computer screen.
Happy Labor Day to you all, and whether you’re having a cook-out or just chilling out, enjoy your families and the last days of summer!
P.S. Come back tomorrow to find out who was more traumatized by the first day of pre-school – me or Kate. I know where I’d place my bets!
