It's Friday!! Do you have plans to do something fun with your weekend?
I have this pile of new canvas duck cloth that is begging me to make something new.
But I can't let myself play until I finish up some of the "chores" around here. Mainly, making sense of all of this:
Yep, school starts on Monday, and I'm labeling and sorting a mountain of supplies. Have you ever tried to fill a public school supply list? It is intense. I've already been to 5 places looking for the exact plastic blue folders with pockets and prongs. Two WalMarts, even the expensive teacher supply--no one has them. Yesterday I gave up and bought the paper ones. How can such a tiny detail make you feel like you're setting your kid up for failure? It's like all those school-year anxieties come rushing back and I'm at the end of my first day of 8th grade, when I realize I've spent the entire day making friends and learning a schedule that was actually designed for a 7th grader, and I have to live my entire first day over again tomorrow, in the correct grade, as the new kid! I really hope those late homework dreams don't start again...
Clearly I need to get these supplies taken care of and get my craft on.

So what are you up to this weekend? Do you look forward to sending your kids back to school, or does it trigger your own codependent panic tendencies? Don't leave me hanging here, I have to know I'm not the only one!
