Sun Therapy

Today, I let someone get under my skin. To help shake it off, I came home (late) and then dug around in the yard. Since I couldn't find my spade, I used a spoon from the silver drawer. That helped make me happy again.

Pavement Wars

Before my husband and I were married, he would park in the middle of the two-car garage leaving no room for my car. After many moments of exasperation, my husband finally marked the two sides of the garage with His and Hers. Most of the time, this seems to help him remember where to park.

Today, we sold my youngest son's car since he won't be taking it with him for college. The sun hadn't even set before he asked to borrow my car. I wonder if he'll be able to handle parking in such a feminine place when he comes home.

Moment of tranquility

A quick snap after a busy day. It was a GREAT day!

And now I'm ready for bed.

Adding to the list

The teachers start back tomorrow and my mind is racing to try and organize everything I need to do. So far, I have about four lists written down. There are thirty-three more circulating in my brain.

I am so excited! The beginning of the school year is just so darn exciting!

It is always fun to see the teachers when they return but the best part for me is when the kids come back (which will be on Friday). I just can't wait!

Confetti

A storm was brewing and blowing petals from the crepe myrtle trees all over the yard. It looked like a celebration.

In a way, I guess it was a celebration. The garden needed water in a bad way.

Took my youngest son shopping today for some things he might need for college. It is so hard to figure out what he'll need for cold, snowy weather. We are definitely on the low end of the learning curve right now.

The perfect ending to a day filled with long and boring meetings (that made me want to stab a sharp stick in my eye) is being allowed to accompany your child to see a movie. Even if that child is really an adult and getting ready to fly 1000 miles away to go to college.

I do love how the sunlight warms up a room and puts a glow in the honey (honey from my bee keeping friend).

Note to self: clean the windows soon.

Layers

I'm exhausted. We found out last week that we have to move two classrooms from one portable into another portable (don't ask why as it is way too complicated). So, today was moving day. Those teachers have so much stuff! And neither one of them were there to move - though they do have to unpack all that stuff.

Then a parent came in and took one hour and ten minutes to fill out a two page registration form. Seriously, I think my kids filled out college applications faster. My secretary and I got the giggles because it was taking so long. Then we had to act like *other* things were funny.

The best part of the day was going to give blood in honor of two kids in our community with leukemia. One is a student at my school. There was a tremendous turn out and it took a long time to move through the line. It was so worth it!
