Fall is fast approaching.

 Summer is quickly coming to an end and the start of school is looming rather close. I have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather before all things fall start to happen. Today I mowed the lawn, for the very first time, EVER. I have weed whacked a lawn before but never mowed it. Let me tell you that was hard work! No one told me that the grass should be dry before you try to mow it. So this made for a lot of stalling and an arm workout restarting the mower every two seconds. Despite the stalling I got it finished and felt pretty darn good. Now the chickens won’t get lost when they are roaming around.

After the lawn mowing fiasco I set out to work on the new chicken coup. I almost finished one section putting up the chicken wire and I royally jammed up my stapler. I’m talking I tried everything to get the thing unjammed, a nail, a screw, a screw driver, some tweezers, and even my forceps! I could not get that stinking little staple out! So I brought it to work with me tonight and a friend here was able to pry it out with a pair of scissors. I was so mad! I was on a roll with doing chores around the house this morning, until the jammed stapler.

Tomorrow night is back to school night at the kids’ school. We get to meet their teachers, drop off school supplies, and eat crappy hot dogs. I am off for it though as well as their first day of school. I’m pretty excited about that. In fact I am off until Friday night so I get to be home for the entire first week. Hopefully our new schedule goes off without a hitch. I’m really hoping that all of my planning insures this. I do need to put the finishing touches on my teacher gifts and still get a few last minute supplies for Miss Evee, but I think other than that we are good to go, well if her uniforms come in time! If they don’t I will be improvising some uniform type clothing that fits her still! I might have been a little late placing my uniform order this year.

Now that my stapler is unjammed I’ll work more on the coup when I get home in the morning before we head off to do some errands. Unless I fall asleep first!
