school supplies! books! STUFF!
So the Lovely Husband has been out of work since March. Which is, as you can probably imagine, where a lot of the stress and chaos in my life has been coming from. The job market stinks, as we all know, and Scott wasn't entirely sure he wanted to keep on with radio production--things in radio look kind of scary, to be honest. And so there has been some life-evaluation going on here at Casa de Zweeble, some half-assed planning, some serious planning, and my husband is going back to school for an IT degree. Because someone has to maintain the computers that are taking over the world, right?
Scott is looking at this as a necessary evil, but I'm starting to get my organizational geek on.
As you may know, I have been selling my soul to Google, bit by bit. Well, since we're going to be working with three school schedules*, and Scott will be taking on some more of the Zweeble-shuttling duties, we needed a shared calendar--so we've got that going on Google. Plus, we can sync it to our phones, which is really helpful. I think I can also give access to this calendar to my mother, which would be an excellent thing as my father will be on Z patrol on the couple of evenings a week Scott and I are both at school.
Then I made a class schedule** on Google Docs and shared that with Scott, shared our To-Do list with him, and we've got a grocery list on it, too. I have a feeling that, as things progress, being able to edit lists and stuff on the cloud will be handy.
Soon we will be looking at school supplies for Scott and the boyo, and I'm totally jealous. All I need is an accordion file, and they get to buy pens and crayons and notebooks and stuff. Maybe I can sneak a pack of pens or a binder in there.
*Z. starts VPK, I take on three (I hope) classes, and Scott's taking a full load, all starting the third week of August.
**Just like we used to do in college! I wished I could color it in!
