Summer's End

The days of sleeping in, staying up late and spending all day in the pool are almost over. The kids attended their last summer dance classes for July, and have a whole two weeks off. It feels like it just begun and now another school year is upon us.

We have been busy this summer with dance, hanging with friends, being lazy, and just plain having fun. I was so lucky to get to watch T dance in his final day of classes. He amazed me at the progress he has made in such a short time. This crazy ride he has taken us on with dance has been well worth it. Yes, I do get tired of going to the studio and setting there for hours several days a week. But when I see the smiles on their faces when they accomplish something they have worked so hard for, it is well worth it. I can't wait to see what this year brings with dance. I now have the privilege to have two dancers in the family. What's funny is I keep saying how surprised I am about it. But, then I remember that dancing was how my hubby and I met. Weird, huh. I guess they might get it from us after all:)

It's HOT!

I feel like I'm setting on the sun! That's the best way to describe what it has felt like being outside the last week or so. Today wasn't too bad if you were in the pool, otherwise it was way to hot. Since Mother Nature has turned up the heat my central air system decided to act up. It is out of freon. Thank goodness my hubby found a wonderful gentleman to come and charge it up. I was so glad to see the man I think I scared him a little, but it was getting way to warm in this house. Of course it wasn't cheap but you cannot put a price on cool air, lol.

I've been spending my days cleaning and organizing the house for fall. Working out a list of dinners to use to plan my grocery lists, and of course making lesson plans. I've squeezed in some time to hang out with my girlfriend, and layout in our pool. But mostly I've been busy working on the house. It's still a work in progress, but hopefully in the next few weeks it will be done.

While I have been cleaning and laying out and all this I have been thinking too. I have been thinking about what I am going to do. I know sooner or later, and probably sooner I will have to go back to work. I am hoping it will be after T graduates in 5 years but it may be sooner. It all depends on how my hubby's job works out and right now it isn't working. There are several fields I am interested in, but it is hard to make up my mind. I know I do not want to go back to teaching. The only way would be if I could teach college level science and that isn't going to happen. I really don't have time to go back to school but it is a must for what I'd like to do. Decisions, decisions. Hmmmm.

Stomach aches!

I haven't been posting much lately. Been trying to enjoy our short break this summer. It has been hard enjoying it all with Poogie not feeling well. She has been having problems with her stomach. It's more like heartburn of all things. I mean she's 8, she shouldn't have to deal with heart burn. We changed her diet and waited to get in to see her doctor today. He checked her for all the normal stuff and decided to put her on an heartburn medicine for a few weeks to see if that works. I hope it does. I hate her having such a bad time of it.

On top of all this she started her back handspring class last week. And T started ballet and tap. Poogie really wants to master this bh and get it over with. Well, bless her heart she ended up spraining her wrist yesterday in class. The doctor says she shouldn't flip tomorrow. I just want her to heal and feel better.

I have been so busy with family stuff that I have neglected my lesson planning for the upcoming school year. So for the last few days I have been working on science and history plans. I am ready to have it all planned out and over with to start our new year.

Well, I'm gonna enjoy some much needed quiet time.
