I cannot tell a lie: I AM SO GLAD SCHOOL HAS STARTED. You know I love my kids, but even moms need a couple of hours once in a while to recharge. During the summer those hours are few and far between. Like teachers who need their summer breaks, I need my school time. I also enjoy helping my kids with homework. It reminds me of how much I do not remember (anyone want to explain direct objects {DO} and indirect objects {IO} to me.) It also helps me keep my mind sharp. (Math is my favorite!) This year it also has told me (in eight days) how quickly things are taught now. I do not remember learning DO and IO until high school and my oldest is only in 7th grade! This year is also the first year that all three of my kids are excited to go to school in the morning! Homework gets done every night. This is a big deal because for the past two years Chris has been on a "homework strike."
Here is a quick health update:
Cassidy's asthma is at it again! She had a major attack last Saturday in Chicago. It was bad enough that I almost called the paramedics. Since then she has had decent days and horrible nights. She is up most of the night and day, so she is extremely tired. This week has also been very hot. Ninety plus temps everyday with the humidity close to 90 percent. It has made things uncomfortable for everyone. (Some schools in the area closed early due to the heat. They did not have AC.) Hopefully now that the weather is cooling off she will start to feel better.
