• All my teenagers are gone. I'm heartbroken. Shockingly, it wasn't the girls (our daughters, as they call themselves) that upset me the most. I'm still upset about them, but I'll see them again. I have no doubts. No, the one that upset me most is the boy (the girls call him their brother). His future is so unclear and I doubt we'll see him again. I'm sure he'll be successful in whatever he does, I just wish he would be successful closer to home. I made it through graduation without crying though, however it was a close call when he gave me my hugs (all three of them) goodbye.
  • I've told LMK, I can't do boarding school. I can't get this close to these kids and have them just vanish. I don't know how I'll do it with my own kids. I've only known these kids 18 months and my heart is broken. What am I going to do with kids I've known 18 YEARS!?
  • Socks misses the girls. Whenever we come upstairs, he sits outside "their room" and waits for them to open the door and let him in. He's so pathetic. So needy. Sometimes, we sit together.
  • In school news, I've got 3 weeks of work left and a week to get it done in. Can you say screwed? I can!
  • Field Day is Monday. The forecasted heat index for that day is between 100◦ -115◦. Field Day is at a park with no shade. WHY are we still going? Why? Did I mention several of the medications I take say, in HUGE letters, "Avoid direct sunlight while taking this medication."
  • I'm slowly getting the hang of Facebook. I found the best graphic this afternoon. I must share it with my teammates. Happy weekend everyone! One week to go!
