I can't believe summer is almost over. Despite NOT having surgery (yay! huzzah! woo hoo!), this summer wasn't the relaxing thing I'd hoped. It was a dead sprint from start to finish, leaving me a bit breathless and tired.
Time to get ready for school. My husband starts back next week with lots of meetings and getting ready for starting the day after Labor Day. Anna and I are doing a "review and preview" week that week, getting up early, doing our usual family morning schedule, and doing a few things to get our feet wet, but not all of it. She starts her outside classes (dance, violin, writing) the next week and we'll be ramping up as well. But that's not for two more weeks and two days. But who's counting? My brain is not yet in teacher mode.
She got bottom braces (and a tooth out) today. Oy. Not fun for anyone. They feel weird and she's having a lot of trouble eating. They had to glue these thingies on the backs of her two front teeth to keep her from chomping down on the bottom brackets and she can't yet figure out how to eat. So it's been yogurt and applesauce. Poor kiddo. :(
I'm really wishing we could go camping one more time this year, but no chance with Mark's schedule. At least we got to go once! Speaking of finishing things up, I went to the drive in tonight, first time by myself in two years. Well, it wasn't by myself, I went with my 15+ year old Lab, Maggie! We shared popcorn. It was like the old days, with more fidgeting (for awhile) by Maggie. Bessie (our young Lab) was not pleased that we left. But she was home with Mark and Anna, so it was ok.
Well, maybe I'm being boring. In a wholly unprecedented manner, Mark's asleep and I'm the one who's up. Generally he works nights at the store, and I'm the one who's asleep when he gets home at 11:30.
Life is weird and I am tired. Thinking of and hurting for my friend who lost his brother. Time for me to put the lid on this day.
