This weekend is the last long weekend of the summer and then it's back to school on Tuesday!
A few weeks ago I started to panic about it. I have no idea why but for some reason I think I must
declutter and get things out of the house to make room for all the papers and such that come home each day. It doesn't help that I still have to sort through all the items they brought home at the beginning of the summer!
I also feel that a clean home will make it easier to do homework in. I suppose it is also a time for me to take inventory on what we will need for the year. Then I sat down and realized that it is a bit silly of me - it's not as if there are not stores open all year round to get what we need when we need it but it is still an impulse that goes through me.
I wonder if it is a subconscious memory from when I was growing up. Either way my house is (getting) less cluttered and I'm starting to look forward to Tuesday.
