Well, it’s here…finally…the kids first day back to school. Let me pause and just sigh a little bit as I listen to the quiet that seems almost overbearing. I can honestly hear the pump from the pool because there is nothing else going on in my house. And well, there certainly is a whole host of things to do…..I just need to organize myself a bit to make sure that they all get done.
Summer has a way of just sucking the routine out of my household. Too many days of pools, parties, beer, food, baseball…more beer and well, more food. Who the heck feels like getting stuff done?
That’s what labour day is for…it’s kind of like my mid year New Years Resolution…..and here’s what I’m going to work on this fall….
1. I will write every day…….
2. I will not fall behind on my paperwork for hubby…(puts him in a bad mood)
3. I will walk the dog every morning (except the ones where hubby forgets to set the alarm and I sleep in…not my fault!)
4. Will not eat carbs.
5. If I do eat carbs will walk an extra half an hour ( as long as the alarm is set)
6. will make sure the kids lunches are made the night before instead of scrambling in the morning
7. Will not yell at kids in the morning
Well, I guess that’s about it….my labour day resolutions……Curious to see if anyone else looks at this time of year as a benchmark for change as well, and if so what do you want to change??

Hi Juliana,
I’m also in the Fall is time to start things, camp. Maybe because I’m a gardener. It might be a little ironic that I get geared up during Fall because of the garden, but this time of year the butterflies arrive and it feels like the beginning and not the end. I also welcome cooler days after the sweltering heat of summer.
I can’t wait for my kids to reach school. I can’t remember the last time I had a quiet house to myself.
