Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Seriously, though. We spent the first week in August in a whirlwind–my nephew’s wedding on the 2nd, church and Clearfield family dinner (including half of our family’s birthday desserts) and a drive to Idaho on the 3rd, time in Idaho with family (involving, among other things, two double batches of zucchini bread in a faulty oven and a bigger project for my mother) on the 4th, 5th, and 6th, driving home on the 7th, and PTA plus my oldest making temple covenants as an adult on the 8th. The 9th saw my older girls and I in Clearfield for a bridal shower, but the 10, thankfully, was a little bit more chill.

Then came the second week.

Back to school night was Monday, and after taking my youngest to what turned out to be a ROUGH therapy session in the morning, I was busy with PTA from noon to 6:30. The first two hours of that was prepping cotton candy as membership rewards; after that I made a whirlwind trip to Walmart before picking up my younger girls to join my oldest at the elementary school. We set up tables, we got t-shirts ready to sell–and then Back to School night started, and it was madness. Tuesday was a day of laundry and prepping for school starting on Wednesday, and once the kids were in for the first day (and two were emotionally struggling, so that was a little rough), I was at the school (and then the bank) for three hours. Yesterday I stayed home and did laundry and cleaned (I did pick up library holds), and today was August wedding #2. I was going to post a recipe and I have three completed books waiting for review, and I’m so tired that I’m putting it off until next week.

How’s your August been?
