Georgia is gonna float away, the Bears beat the Steelers, and I can’t find a freaking house I like. So my Monday morning could be better.
It has rained basically nonstop for days now, and apparently it’s going to continue for most of the week. Didn’t I have this problem up in Kentucky? My father-in-law says I brought the Kentucky rains with me down here. Of all the things I wanted to bring with me, that wasn’t one of them.
I have a PTO meeting tonight, my first here. I’m not attending only as a parent but also as the grade parent for the second grade. I’m praying that’s a title only, and my input won’t really be needed for anything. I have no opinions these days. Honest. Speaking about the whole education thing, while the younger two kids are settling in better than I thought, they’re still struggling a bit with getting into the teaching routines of their new schools. I’m expecting some very informative moments at the parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday. I’m serious… it doesn’t feel like we’ve changed states… sometimes it feels like we’ve changed countries.
Oh well… it’s all good. We’ve decided to take the kids away for a few days during their Fall break in a couple weeks. We’re scouting at condo rentals around Cocoa Beach, and we might even jet over to Disney for a day or two. We soooo deserve it. I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be than totally disconnected on a beach with a good book. I wish I could even leave all the electronics at home, even the cell, but with ailing family and a kid away in college, I’m forced to stay in touch at least a little. Oh don’t you worry, everyone will have strict instructions not to bother me unless there’s loss of limb or something equally as important.
So if you have something really important you need me to tend to, you’d better get with me within the next eleven days. Otherwise, I’m not listening until mid-October! Ha – That implies I listen on a regular basis, doesn’t it…
