Oh my. Thank you for the comments on that last entry. For the THREE of you (my fan base is wide, I know) who are fellow bloggers and therefore have earned my admiration by default, thanks for sharing your comments on the subject. I'm glad to know your thoughts.
And to my MOM, who is my number one fan, I had NO idea that you check this page regularly (did you say DAILY?) for updates. I feel as if I have let you down. You must have wondered if I had run out of things to say.
Never.
Let's start with today. This weekend. Needless to say, I am actually looking forward to Monday and my classroom. From this vantage point, it looks like an oasis. Normal. Organized chaos. A light at the end of the tunnel.
I am exhausted. Yesterday I was drowning in readings on administrative law while waiting for updates on that big brother of mine. There is nothing quite as hard as having family members in a hospital that you have no hope of visiting- that distance gets us every time. I accomplished absolutely nothing around the house. Absolutely nothing (with the exception of the aggravating run to the grocery store that I made for the sole purpose of venting a little steam... those Walmart aisles will rearrange the focus of your anger in a heartbeat).
Today was the birthday of the middle. I love that kid (as I do all, of course). We had a big family lunch, pulled off a fairly awesome birthday surprise, and ended the day with a cake glowing from the light of twenty candles. Granted, it was after nine in the evening by this point and we ran out of ice cream by the time it got to me and three of the twenty candles were the kind that sparked and flared and never did quite go out, but hey, that just served to present the boy with a challenge that he couldn't quite refuse.
Good times.
Today was also the first in the graduation festivities of the youngest. Can someone please tell me when that happened? I told the husband that looking at her in her cap and gown reminded me of her younger years playing dress-up. It was almost as if I felt I should be telling her to take it off, like it didn't quite belong.
But belong on her, it did.
Baccalaureate tonight.
Honors night later this week.
Graduation in under three weeks.
College up next.
May the good Lord see us through.
