  • I am feeling completely overwhelmed that summer is almost over. Where did it go? I feel as though I have missed something. I am not ready to have the kids gone. I am not ready for the middle one to be in Kindergarten. I am not ready.......
  • We have a wobbly tooth in the house. Not ready for that either.
  • And my oldest- third grade. Third flipping grade. Man I am getting old.
  • Just finished writing my last paper for the summer semester. Oh, I had a hard time with this one. I just did not want to do it. I have been sitting here looking at it for days. Days I tell you. I found every excuse NOT to write my paper. I cannot tell you how many games of rummy 500 I made my husband play. And well, if he refused, I played Hearts on Hoyle card games. I even vacuumed the upstairs. Not that is total desperation. Although I have to admit, after seeing how much dust and gunk my vaccum picked up- I really need to do it more often. But wait that would mean picking everything up off the floors in the kids rooms.
  • I am grateful for all the rain. Two days of rain after about a month of drought. I love the sound of rain. Love to go to sleep listening to it on the roof and windows.
  • The temperatures are low too. Way below normal. The kind of weather that you need to wear jeans and long sleeved shirts. Totally not August weather. But I am enjoying the respite from the heat.
  • Time to study for finals. I cannot believe that my first semester back in college is almost over. Yet it feels like forever. I looked at the date on my first paper and it was dated back in May. May- school wasn't even out yet. We had the whole summer ahead of us.
