The last day of July.
I can hardly believe it...
School starts 5 weeks from tomorrow.
I had a fairly exhausting weekend, with a bunch of emotional stuff going on. I'm still processing a lot of it, but am reassured that God is by my side and holding my hand... it's all good.
I teach twice this week and then have the rest of the month of August off from teaching. August is always slow at the store. And I'm afraid it may be slow here at home too as I push through to the end of summer. Asia travels a bunch this month... it could be a looooonnnnnng month. I'll have to figure out some clever ways to keep us all from going crazy.
The heat has finally passed us by. Yesterday the high was only 70 degrees. It's supposed to be in the 80's all week. I'm so thankful. I really don't function well in weather over 90 degrees. Can you say cranky? It's great to have it cool enough that I feel like I can turn the oven on and cook dinner without baking the whole family in the process. I even made a coffee cake for breakfast yesterday.
Gracie's birthday is coming up... of course, the kids want to have a full out party for her. I'm not sure I'm up for that, but it is hard to believe she'll be a year old already. Of course, we didn't get her until she was seven weeks old, so she won't celebrate her anniversary with us until September, but her birthday is still apparently reason to celebrate. We'll have to go buy her some new toys or something, I guess. Who knew I'd be planning doggie parties? Silly.
Tons of laundry to do today. And vacuuming. And 'school' for the kids - we've been out of our normal routine with vacation and VBS last week. It's going to be good to settle down again into our normal summer schedule for a couple more weeks.
Time to get the kids up. Happy Monday - my favorite day of the week...

Cathy is there no end to your artistic talents, a great scrapbooker and photographer. If your nephew needs a album cover he has you to take the picture. We have to get you to North Carolina to take Kellys author picture for the backcover of Martin Loudmouth.
