back is feeling better....meaning i can get around without yelping. It is still all tight down there but i am trying to do some stretches throughout the day.
Ellyn started back at school this week. Two of the classes she is taking are Guns and Gangs and Counterculture of the 60's and 70's. She still has little idea what she is going to do when she graduates. She is going to sign up for the Kaplan GRE class this fall and take the GRE. She is thinking about social policy grad school. She is also thinking of Teach For America. She also got an offer at a state park in Olympia running the children's programs but it was for this fall so she might see if she can get it for next year.
Harry starts back on Monday. He is chagrined because they put him in Ceramics. I feel a lot more put out by a study hall. I ain't payin' for him to be sittin' in no damn study hall dammit!!
The twins start back on the 8th or 9th--perhaps i should look into what day exactly! Carter is a little p.o'ed because Finn's teacher wrote a little card saying she was looking forward to meeting him. I think the two separate classrooms will be good. Both can develop as individuals.
Reading the correspondence between Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop which makes me greatly aware of my lack of knowledge of poetry.
A part of me is saying last roadtrip of summer...hop in that car. But i am trying to rein in my rattley boo and hang round home. My body is obviously trying to do that with the bad back.
