School, Gifs, and Lizards- oh my!

Hey, guys! All I got for you today is a quick rant(seriously, I ramble…beware.) on school, encumbered with gifs. Enjoy. 🙂
Summer break is a foreign phrase at my house. We may have a short break here or there, but I don’t think we have a clean no-school summer. I, for one, am not opposed to our idea of summer. I quite enjoy doing just a little bit of school- not too much, but something to keep me from getting too bored.

This summer, I was finishing subjects from my sophomore year and trying to get ahead in other subjects for this coming school year. It wasn’t as restful and free as others may expect from a high-schooler’s summer, but it wasn’t at all bad to me.

Then something happened to disturb the precious lenience.

School started this week.

And you know what that means?

HOME-SCHOOLERS GET THE WORLD BACK! *cheers*

Ha ha ha!…uhm, er–

No, that’s not what that means, silly… for the most part.

When school starts, life gets hectic. Mornings we’re buzzing around all over each other- all at once, just for food- school hours are designed for sleeping all of a sudden, and the rest of the day consists of household duties, running errands, and Pinterest– *cough* I mean, cleaning house. (Right.)

And get this. My siblings and I? We’re talking about one college kid, two high-school juniors, one 2nd grader, and the rest(4 ditzy girls) under 1st grade. That’s like juggling live baby giraffes, and eating apple pie through your ear, while using hydrogen as a fork, at the same time.

Okay. Maybe not that bad, but you get the idea. It’s not easy and it’s not all the time fun.

({Special shout-out to my mom, and all home-school moms} I have no idea how you stay sane with all that underfoot. Maybe I’m just an OCD control freak, but that is a lot. Thank you for putting up with us crazies, even though you could’ve left us in a basket on a stranger’s doorstep. It means a lot. 😀 )

Anyways.

One good thing about school is how much more organized of a schedule we develop.

The fact that I don’t have to sit around the house with no order in life is glorious. I love that I have to fight to find time to do things! Makes me think, plan, prioritize, and strategically time how long it takes to finish school, do my chores, and pour water into a glass.

My life needs to be running on a strict timetable, and I will accomplish that by the end of this week.

Fine. Maybe not.

But wait! There’s another thing that I love about the school year…

PRETTY SCHOOL SUPPLIES!

*squeals*

I am a sucker for new pens, pencils, paper- and if you haven’t noticed, “p” words. 😉 Here’s a picture of my li’l nook:

*happy sigh* Lovely, isn’t it? All the colors, the variety, ahhh! I fall in love every time I look at them. 🙂

Well, I gotta be off now. Y’know -*wink wink*- to clean the house.

Hope you enjoyed this rambling post.

P.S.

Check out this little guy. He just couldn’t help but come calling on me while I was in the middle of History. After 5 minutes of him crawling on the window sill, I decided to do something that would tragically end our blooming friendship…

I started opening and closing the blinds. Apparently he didn’t want me that bad, because he quickly ran away. ;P

The drama of newly-born-but-soon-after-demolished love.

Happy Thursday, thanks for reading!
