Oh, Wow!

Man, I am astonished at how quickly this summer has gone by and is essentially OVER. I am sad and frustrated at the list of things I wanted to accomplish which did NOT get done. Looking back we did get a few things done in the house. New floors in the bathrooms upstairs. I painted the trim, but I had wanted to strip the wallpaper and paint the walls. No time----

I did sort through all the papers from my classes last year and get them filed, did get all grades final and reported. Have been able to keep up with new registrations as they come in. But I have not compiled all the notes for all classes and gotten them all typed up like I wanted to. Just today I began reading the new course I'll be teaching this year, Anatomy and Physiology. That will be an ongoing project I'm sure.

I did get all the planning done for my own kids' school. I'll do a separate post about all those plans since I like to have it all in one place. I thought I already had but,... I'll search that, too.

This week Wesley started school because he has to go to camp next week while the others are starting. Bill had his ACC (local jr college) orientation yesterday and Rebecca had hers at the public school for 6th graders this morning.

I have spent 3 weeks in a row fixing something on the van - 2 new tired, then a new battery, and today, new calipers for the brake system that has given me fits for two years.

I am not strictly following my Spent routine, although I am continuing to work out when I can 2 or 3 times a week, and drinking smoothies on some days for breakfast.

Now I am off to drive kids to yet another youth function. It is the final Poolside Parables summer Bible study meeting. Then, I'm coming home to relax in my massage chair with a foot massage and maybe a glass of wine. What a week!
