(no subject)
It has been a lovely summer. Well, once the bulk of my summer classes were over that is. Pretty much August was great. I got to organize lots of stuff and that always makes me happy. Organized Celtic Festival stuff and a School library and my book list of books that need me to buy them and my garden and my planting calendar for next year.... Oh, heaven. I am surprised though that I didn't go outside and get dirty more often. I have a few things I want to do to the front garden (including another rock wall... *squee*) but I haven't found the motivation for it yet, which is very odd. Of course, It could be because I am still recovering from the stupid french drain.
The boys have started school off fairly well. Micah is like a fish who has been thrown back into the water. We asked him what he likes best and he said "recess", then what he didn't like and he said "sitting in our chairs for so long", and lastly what surprised him about 1st grade and he said, with wonder in his voice... "There are three whole recesses!"
Silas on the other hand is neither excited or reluctant when it comes to school. Which is fine. Saturday was the boys first soccer games for the season and Silas refused to go on to the field. Not so much as a toe the whole time. I couldn't tell if he was to nervous, or what. Perhaps he was fighting of his dads sickness from the week before.... who knows!
I don't like how busy our falls are now. But then, I am used to a slower paced life and I am sure lots of people would say we had a fairly easy schedule to follow. I like having most nights free. I like being able to say hey, lets do something this weekend and not already having plans to fit between. But fall, especially with 2 boys in soccer now, is our craziest time of year and I hate telling friends that we can't get together until the 3rd Tuesday after the full moon on an odd numbered day. It doesn't help with all that we are doing to help Shauns parents on top of things. I don't grudge them, I do grudge the situation and timing. That is why we will all be at lake Tahoe next weekend running a show. I am sorta looking forward to it, but I know I will come home to start the week absolutely exhausted. Oh well.
Last but not least, I finally caved to playing WOW with husband. The whole getting nauseous because of the movement style on the screen has worn off (I think most of it was left over from pregnancy when watching anything move made me up chuck) although not completely. Flying from town to town can get me queezy and I HATE swimming. But I am having fun playing with him. I am level 35 after 3 weeks. The day he was home sick I played all day with him. It was a nice day, even though he was running to the bathroom every so often.
