Who's Counting?

Yes, I'm really behind and have a lot to post, but today, for my own sanity, I just need to say this.....

Thirty-three.

33.

XXXIII.

Treinta y tres.

Trente-trois.

Trentatre.

Treizeci si trei.

The atomic number of arsenic.

The jersey number of Larry Bird and Kareem-Abdul-Jabar.

The number of innings in history's longest baseball game.

The traditional number of racers in the Indianapolis 500.

The largest positive integer that cannot be expressed as a sum of different triangular numbers.

But most importantly......



The number of days left until my children go back to school.
(Bless their little hearts, I love them to death but I have completely lost control of the house and people around here are getting hot and grouchy and bored.)

Thank you and have a nice day.

I completely understand that sentiment. Funny, I wish we lived in AZ every summer because school starts a week earlier. The kids wish we live there every spring because school gets out a week earlier. Guess it all evens out in the end. Good luck! Only one page left on the calendar!

You are so funny! I love this! I am right there with you! I wish I could say that my summer was almost over, but with camp around the corner I feel like it is only beginning! HELP! Just kidding! It will quit hurting when it is over! Love YA!

I hope those 33 days go by really quickly for you.

Hooray! You are back! I've missed your posts, block-stalker that I am.

33 days and I feel the weight of everything I have NOT done this summer. My poor kids have had a downright pathetic summer with no out-of-town trips, very few play dates, and a whole lot of boring!

With 33 days left I need to fill up the time with something so my kids can at least write a paragraph about what they did over the summer. Something other than: stayed inside, did chores, fought with my sister.
