The back-to-school week is almost over -- hallelujah!
It feels kinda weird to be at this time of year, between the Back-to-School season and the High Holy Days, waiting on that cool fall weather to arrive, without a new season of NCIS to look forward to! I still haven't decided if I'm going to watch Ziva/Cote's last two episodes. I might just have to wait and see how I feel when they air.
Anyway, Sara and I had been planning to make to a trip back to our hometown for Labor Day ever since we moved here. But yesterday, our mom called and told us that while we're in town, we aren't welcome to stay at her house. Why not? The bottom line was basically that us staying there might inconvenience my brothers. I'm still pretty darn pissed and hurt by this, since Mom is apparently fine with letting her sons live with her rent-free for their entire lives, but won't put her daughters up for one weekend. But I've already wasted too much of my life trying to figure out what her problem with us is.
But there is still something to be thankful for. I posted on Facebook that I needed a place for stay for the Labor Day weekend, and my other relatives and hometown temple completely stepped up. I got offers from so many people (virtually all of them with houses nicer than Mom's -- win/win!) that I still haven't decided on who to take up. The bottom line is that I'm still going, but watching Star Trek with Adam was one of the things I was most looking forward to, and Mom pulling in the welcome mat will make that more difficult.
כִּי-אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי; וַיהוָה יַאַסְפֵנִי.
When my mother and father forsake me, the Lord will recieve me.
לוּלֵא--הֶאֱמַנְתִּי, לִרְאוֹת בְּטוּב-יְהוָה: בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּים.
I would have lost heart, if I did not believe in the goodness of the Lord.
Psalm 27
