Is it almost August already??

This summer has flown by.Where did the time go??Tomorrow is school registration for my two oldest kids;I've got one going into the 8th grade and one going into the 11th grade.School starts August 6th-the earliest I've ever remembered them starting.Craziness I tell you. At least now we're in line with all the Back-To-School sales.
With the big kids going back to school,that leaves me with the four year old at home.I wish we had the money to put him in preschool, but unless money starts falling out of the sky(Dollar bills, not change.That might hurt.) it's not going to happen.There is a preschool at the elementary school he'll be attending next year, but it's for special ed.I did, in fact, ask them 'How special does he have to be?' The answer was special as in he has a documented disability(Facebook didn't count as documented).They also said that they have a few regular kids in there to be a "good example" for the others.It was at that point I just gave up because out of all the kinds of examples there are in the world-I wouldn't say his was "good"(in fact,he leans more towards "horrible warning").It's not that he's a bad kid...he's just rambunctious...and independent...and mischievious...and curious.Like MacGyver, Evil Kenevil,and Dennis the Menace all rolled into one. So it's still up in the air, what I'll do with him during school.Hmm...maybe I can get his grandparents to chip in for Mother's Day Out as my Christmas present(something to think about).
I'm hoping with the big kids back in school, that means I can do more on Ebay.Honestly, though, it's not the kids stopping me-it's the heat.All of my inventory is located out in the un-air conditioned play house and I just can't bring myself to go get some work done.And ((whiny voice)) it's too hot.The temperature is supposed to top out at 102 today.102!!!((Groan))My sales have reflected this too. I've sold one thing in the past few days- a light bulb for a movie projector.

Bought this for $1.65.Sold for $19.99. I bought it because 1)I thought it was pretty and if it didn't sell I could make something "steampunkish" with it, and 2)I know any kind of projector bulbs can get expensive.My dad gets overhead and opaque projectors at the school auctions and when the bulb goes out,it's cheaper for him to buy another used projector than a new bulb.Seriously.

Gotta go- my four year old just picked a fight with the fifteen year old and I can't ignore it any longer.Sigh,this is my life.Entertaining thoughts of running away from home..or maybe I'll just go to Goodwill for a couple of hours.
