First Day of School



We started our way back to Ohio by leaving the cabin and heading to Twin for Jessica's wedding. Then Sunday we were going to go to Boise since our flight left on Monday. However, plans don't always work out. Brooklyn got sick and was throwing up all day Sunday so we stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Starley's. Monday morning she felt better thank goodness. Could you imagine having to deal with throw up on the airplane? Guess our prayers were answered for that one. We got back from Idaho late Monday night at 1:30am and poor Greg had to wake up early and be at the hospital by 6am so he could head to Columbus for RPAC (Resident education lectures of some sort). By noon he was texting me telling me he didn't feel good. Neither did I . He came home early and we spent the rest of the day and the following day in bed or near the toilet. We weren't as lucky as Brooklyn. Ours lasted a few days. But we didn't have a few days to spare. School was starting on Thursday for London and Friday for Brooklyn and we hadn't even gone shopping for anything. Resourceful me made up a scavenger hunt for their school supplies and told them to go for it. They found everything they needed except for some glue and a set of markers. Yes we had plenty of black markers or markers with their lids off but not a whole set. So instead of making a Walmart/Target run we did a grocery store run mainly because we needed milk but I also grabbed the markers paid grocery store prices...yes my sister would be disappointed. But I wasn't going to go all around town just to say a dollar or two. Not worth my time and wasn't sure I could even function long enough to go anywhere else. I felt kind of bad for the girls because it was Brooklyn's first day of Kindergarten and there wasnt' a whole lot of pomp and circumstance. I did manage to get a few pics. However, London got sick Thursday night and had to miss her second day and wasn't able to be with Brooklyn on her first day of riding the bus. It was a crazy week but we managed and we were all fine to start fresh Monday morning.
