Things are back to normal around here and I gotta tell you, normal isn't so great. The parents left yesterday morning, the oldest went to work, the middle slept till noon, the youngest broke out her sewing machine, the husband went back to the job search, and I went back to laundry. Well, I take that back (about the normal not being great part)... we're all here and well. I'd say normal is pretty good.
We had the BEST time last week. I think I had a headache from Wednesday through Sunday, but it was well worth it. My mom attributed it to the stress of everything and I suppose she might have been right. It certainly was a whirlwind. I guess that's the end of my SENIOR YEAR posts, at least for another year. I expect the next few years to fly by now as the other two make their way forward. My mom remarked that I now only have kids in high school. Sheesh. Now that's hard to believe.
The oldest was surprised by what all he received as graduation gifts. When he thanked his great-grandma, he said, "I think I should graduate every year." Ha! I've got a stack of thank you cards for him to write and informed him last night that there would be no weekend plans until they were finished. He gladly replied, "Not a problem." I was surprised by a few graduation gifts sent my way as well. It's always good to feel loved.
And so life goes on. The middle goes camping with his youth group next week and the youngest was invited to spend a week at the beach with one of her BFFs. I've got a couple of teaching applications in place that I'm hoping to hear something on and just found out yesterday that I'll begin training as a volunteer docent (fancy word for tour guide) at our local history museum. At this point, anything would be a good start. Even the husband has expanded his job search to a two-hour radius from where we live. I don't blame him one bit. We'll cross that bridge if we come to it.
The point of too much personal information?
If you're a praying person, PRAY.
If you're a positive thinking person, THINK POSITIVELY.
And if you know how to fix an almost three-year old Gateway laptop in which the power button (built in to the hinged part) has went kaput, feel free to let me know.
Oh, and if your mom lives close by, go give her a hug.
I miss mine already. =)

I didn't get to read this post until the one that follows it. But it still applies. I'm a praying person, and you're on my list. <3
