I've almost let September slip by without even one post. So here it is. I guess in reflection I could say that my absence has been due to the return of the school schedule. Hmmm. I'm actually pretty sure about that. Since someday (with my track record lately, this "someday" will inevitably be sooner rather than later) I will forget all of the little happenings that made up these busy August and September weeks of my 2010, I feel compelled to make a list...
August 18th-Adrion had his tonsils and adenoids removed.
August 19th-Tori started 3rd grade. Unbelievable. So far the year has been absolutely without incident. My sweet Tori is shining.
Early September...Mom and Tim went to Little Rock for comprehensive tests to determine treatment plans and options for his lymphoma.
September...School, work, school, work, visit LR w/ Candace, school, work, etc...
September 15th (I think)-Mom and Tim returned to Little Rock to begin mega-chemo, round 1. They're still there. He and Mom will be gone for probably 3 more weeks before a short trip home, then back for round 2....If all goes as planned, treatments should conclude around the end of the year.
September something...I got my box from the National Board certification program. I received $2500 of funding from the state of Arkansas to participate, and it's due March 31st. 6 months. They (these upcoming months) are going to be a little intense.
Today-Jaxon's 7th birthday. Again, unbelievable. The babies are big kids now. Also, I returned home today from two days of Lit Lab in Fayetteville. Bikes, Blues, and BBQ were going on while we were there (Nancy Green shared a room with me). We gave up seeing those sights, however, in exchange for R&R and pizza delivery in our hotel.
That's all she wrote. My deep-thinking, introspective self has not come out (or gone in(???)) to play for awhile. Life is hectic, and it's keeping my mind on the mundane. Speaking of, I shall now commence to make supper, feed the dogs, pick up the house, start some dishes and laundry, maybe mow a little (?), help with homework, bathe the kids, conduct "night-night-train" rituals, call my mom, .......and plan for a FABULOUS FRIDAY!! (My favorite day of the week!)
PS--I can't wait to see my hubby! Hurry home, G!
