First day of school
The boys started school today. They were excited. I can honestly say this is the first year that I have been ok with them going back. I’m not ready for everything to get crazy again- and running in two different directions at the same time. BUT I am ready for them to start their new year. They woke up easily and showered, dressed and ate breakfast without fighting or complaining. We had the annual picture taken in front of the jasmine, then again in front of the school sign. First stop was Thomas class. He has the new teacher this year. He seems nice. Graham has his old reading teacher from last year, Mr. McDonald. That guy is a riot-and I wish him luck for this school year. After school Thomas, his best friend, Graham, and his best friend all got off the bus just smiling away. They all had a great first day. I was glad they were home and enjoyed listening to their first day stories.
I finished watching the first season of Grey’s Anatomy AND the first season of SCRUBS. — I guess at this time I should interject that I am on serious pain killers and muscle relaxants do to a little tumble I took while hiking on Monday. I ended up with a Lumbar Sprain, right ankle sprain, and possible broken bones in my left hand-but just a few of those ‘little’ bones. When it happened I felt myself go down, but didn’t have the balance to correct it since I was headed down hill. I made a great spectacle of myself and several on lookers inquired several times if I was “OK”. My doctor said I probably cracked my tail bone but the area was far too sensitive for her to really push through my ‘padding’. ha ha She also pointed out that my ankle was very swollen and ‘turning a nice shade of blue’ which the boys found very funny. I hadn’t really noticed the pain since I was more focused on my back- because when your back hurts the simplest moves can trigger pain from ALL over your body. But anyway- I’m fine. I hate being drugged up- but it’s better than sharp pain I guess…. Oh to be young and flexible again.
I’m almost done with my book The Secret History. I’m curious to see how it ends.
Got some email from my school friends asking which classes I was taking this term. It was really nice to hear from them and kind of got me excited for school. I am going to take my paper work in on Friday- to finally register. So if I’m so excited and i loved it so much why am I dragging my feet? Answer me THAT Riddler.
Ok enough from me
