Kind of Glad that Tomorrow is Monday

Hey there.

It's late Sunday night and I just realized that I didn't respond to your text yesterday. I was out with JJ at the time (driving) so I couldn't respond, then I forgot later. Sounds like a good time at the pool though...nice and quiet way to end the summer. If I'm not mistaken, you're back at school tomorrow? Sending you all good wishes for your first day.

Friday night, J left for a wildfire in southern WA, so we've had kind of a busy weekend. I was trying to help JJ rearrange/clean his room (which took two days, seriously) and do a major Goodwill sweep throughout the entire house. This, as well as get CK's birthday party together Friday night (very fun), a hair cut Saturday (great - much shorter), monthly Costco trip today ($$$), and dinner with S&T for the Emmy's tonight (relaxing) ... I'm just pretty tired.  Not to mention having a severe allergy attack from all the unsettling of dust all weekend.

Still, it was fun to spend all weekend with my boys;  M was helping us build shelves, and working on his own room, so the three of us were kind of hanging out. That's as good as it gets, I'm afraid :) Now, almost everything is sorted out and I don't have a ton left to do, but it's not all in order yet.  I just don't feel like I can start the school year with every closet a mess, drawers full of clothes that don't fit anyone...broken toys...you know what I mean.

Tomorrow, JJ is having a CAT scan for his sinuses and he's a little scared about it.  Afterwards, I'll take him out for lunch and maybe go to a movie. It's not such a big deal unless they tell us he has to have his adenoids taken out, in which case he's going to freak. He's never had surgery and isn't crazy about the idea.

I do think I know what you mean about the mood while W was visiting last week. I wanted to catch up with you on the phone but this week just got away from me. Honestly, I'm sure I had free time, I just don't know what I did with it. I had JJ's friend EN here all week (I was daycare), so not a lot of quiet time to talk.  I'm hoping that this week we'll be able to talk, even though I'm sure you'll be exhausted from starting school and listening to all those stupid motivational speakers. ;)

Give me a call when you get a minute to talk; I'd love to hear your voice and hear about W, D, and the first day of school.

Love you,
A
