its been awhile

school starts in 2 days - yeah I made it, almost.

older daughter started college today.  books cost tooooooo much!  that is so bad.  oh well, we get through, we always do.

freedom at last, I can do what I need during the day without trying to separate fighting kids.

they have been so bored part of the summer, back to school will do them a lot of good.

this is what I have been learning to do over the summer.  I knew how to needle tat for just over a year and July 4th weekend I starting learning to shuttle tat.

As we enter the last month in the summer

now that August is here we are counting down the days to the beginning of school. My oldest daughter starts back to college a couple days before the kids but then their first day is one of her days off.  So my first day totally freee of children is the day after they start back.  Oh well, 62 will come soon enough and then my youngest will be off to college and I'll miss having them home.  In the meantime, summer drags on.  My husband almost orders us to go swimming sometimes, he is worried we are wasting our poool membership and it takes some of the joy out for us.  At least the kids love it and don't want to leave after they are forced to go.  Well another day.
