And the Night Grows Later and I More Tired

It is 11:39 and the girls have finally fallen asleep. After being at the beach for two weeks, we are way off track with bedtime. Plus, it's summer and, of course, the tendency is to go to bed later because the days are longer and why should we be in bed when it is still daylight outside?!

So, I've been sitting here at the computer where I can see Doodlebug and Little Munchkin toss and turn in Little Munchkin's bed, trying to settle themselves down to sleep. Both are really such big chickens that they won't sleep alone in their respective rooms.

Anyway, I've been perusing a Charlotte Mason homeschool blog which inspired me to begin thinking about this next school year. For the past two years of school, I haven't felt as organized as I would like. I'm determined to change that this year, but I know that if I don't start planning now, the new school year will sneak up on me.

Organizing and planning for the upcoming school year--that's one of my goals for the summer which, shockingly, is almost half over. Guess I better get busy 'cause I also want to organize the girls' stuff and move the rest of their and our "in storage" possessions to our house, and that may take me awhile because Doodlebug and Little Munchkin have more junk that any other kids, I'm sure of it.

I'd have a yard sale, but I've been there, done that, and found it more hassle than it was worth. Although Doodlebug keeps pestering me to have another, and having a yard sale would very likely motivate her to get rid of some of her junk; yet, that is still not motivation enough for me.

I'll just take my castoffs to Goodwill and feel good about my unselfishness while waiting for my receipt for the tax deduction I plan to take for my charitable contribution.

Much more fulfilling than a yard sale, I'd say.
