Going Postal...

Things are getting down to the wire here. My summer is over in less than a week and I feel like there are about 10,000,000 things that need to get done before then. I'm probably exaggerating on the amount of things that need to get done, but it always seems like that's when everything has to get done, or planned, at the end of the summer.

Yesterday, I sent my stuff out to Chevak. Thankfully I was able to manage only sending two "personal" tubs of stuff. I was even able to fit my sewing machine in one of them, maybe that will mean I'll make more time to be "crafty". I was hoping to only send three tubs total but was pretty confident that one of them (the school supplies) was going to be over 70lbs. and what do you know? It was definitely over 80lbs. Good thing I brought an extra tub just for that reason. I would have been pretty upset if I had to get out of line and fix that little problem. My mom and I stood in line for probably about 45 minutes before we even got to the counter. SO, once we got there I started with the heaviest one first. I was able to re-situate that stuff while the postal worker dealt with my other tubs. That was a little crazy but I got everything sent (minus the backpacks, which I'll send after I collect a few more) and they should all be there by the time I get there.

Lately, I have been having a hard time falling asleep at night because I'm thinking about everything that needs to get done, or how I am going to arrange/organize my classroom, or how I'm going to hand out backpacks, the upcoming shopping trip that I need to do to get enough food to hopefully last until Christmas, and the list could go on. 

I know that everything will come together, so I try not to worry about it. I'm getting pretty excited and nervous...

*Keep Calm and Carry On*
