Yes, I would love to hear it for brakes. If the person behind us last night had used hers a tad better we would not have had our accident. Boo hiss.. our poor Camry. On the good side no one was injured. On the bad side our new car has to get body work.
This was after watching our friend's son in a fantastic production of Frankenstein. It is the first time it has been produced by a high school production and the writers and such went to watch the production and were WOWed. Slight problem with the monster's wireless microphone so his first big scene and song were a tad hard to hear.
Middle kidlet passed the permit test and went out with dh driving. Hmmm.... watch out.
On the good side, I've been out and running regularly. I've done between 2-3 miles. What is nice is on weekends I don't have to run around the block as I do when I'm here with the kidlets alone. I won't go too far and want to be in easy walking distance if they need me.
Big kidlet got bad news about a co-worker from camp. Not sure of the particulars other than another friend passed away. I slightly worried and would like him to talk to someone up at school.
I won't be home when he gets home next weekend. I'll be in Boston with the middle one and the youth group. I get to chaperone. Best part... I'll get to see The Blue Man Group. :)

Weekend... relaxation what a concept
What a week. So far my working around 30 hours helping fill the void in my office is not working... more like 40 + hours. Does make for a nice pay check and lots of stress.
This coming week I must be "myself" for most of it to get MY work done. This doesn't count the fact I am doing leg work to make sure things run smoothly in the office. Let's see a letter to apologize for a mistake in printing - research for old files - checking off all the HH items that must be done. Trivial and easy as pie. No wonder I'm not sleeping well.
On the plus side dh will be home this week. I'm not sure we'll know what to do with him home all week. Maybe I'll be wishing for that bi-coastal commute by the end of the week - joking.
This will make our morning routine and evening routine off a beat. On the plus side I'll be able to run in the morning before work if I want. Getting more exercise in should help my stress level. I am a happier person when I know I'm not being a slug.
I was informed by my trainer NOT to count walking on the weekend as my aerobic activity. Waves arms in the air - I was good and ran my 1.6 mile course which was JUST 20 minutes. The amount of time I'm suppose to do both Saturday and Sunday. Hmmm... maybe I can put off Sunday's run and do it Monday or Tuesday since dh will be home. I was a basket case when I got to my training midweek last week. I felt much better getting my tush kicked back into gear. One of the reasons I'm treating myself to seeing her twice a week.
No evening meetings this coming week - only running for the kidlets - SAT prep, college apps prep, kids' work, violin lessons, Hebrew class - I'm making myself tired by looking at the list.
Thursday is off to Union to get senior portraits for our middle one. SIGH. Yes, if we had been thinking we could have had the information in June and most likely had the pictures taken at the high school. So much for being prepared. Shrug. I'm hoping that there isn't a lot of traffic for a 9:30am appointment.
Youngest has outgrown 14's and will move up to the 16's that we have tucked away. We weren't sure if a growth spurt would occur in OZ so the clothing traveled to Oz and back. Last weekend I went shopping with middle kidlet because new jeans were needed. The old ones were too big. Wow.. sounds funny when you think about growing children. Can't have jeans falling off in school.
All school supplies seem to done for the time being. Oh.. but this week we have to buy a magazine with liquor ads for youngest's health project. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find liquor ads in magazines. Seems that they have cut back on their advertising. We found a cooking magazine that had some ads.
Life in the fast lane? There are times dh and I look at each other and wish for Oz. Life was much quieter. No running to meetings, lessons, and classes - time to take leisurely walks on weekends - concerts in the park during the summer. We realize that we talk about Oz most days.
