This is not the blogger I want to be, disappearing except for the Monday update. And yet here I am, writing another Monday update, that will probably be followed next week by… another Monday update. Blerg.
When I think about how much I used to write… it’s astonishing.
The weekend was good. And hard. And what I needed. And not enough of what I needed. And eye opening. And totally banal. It was all of those things. And others.
This week will be… watching for rain… and checking my jury service… and preparing for my son’s 8th birthday… and starting new units at school (while always having sub plans ready for possible jury service)… and wondering if there will be another heat wave or if I can pack my warm weather clothes away… and reheating the dozens of pumpkin pancakes I made yesterday.
It turns out the second half of October is really busy. This must always be the case, and I suppose I remembered that, deep down, because I ordered my kids’ costumes in mid September and I was so relieved that I had yesterday when my daughter’s arrived, plastered in customs forms I couldn’t read.
I thought I had more to say, but it’s just tumbleweeds. The only thing worse than the Monday update is a Monday update like this one.
Some days I guess you just have to be happy you showed up.
Hurrah to hear from you!!!!
Glad costumes were ordered and are arriving! That is such a win. The last minute change of mind and wanting a costume when the child had sworn they wouldn’t, or changed mind on What/Who to be…….. pure nasty stress.
Sounds like you had other positive things happen. I think you would be a good juror, but given the chaos of needing a sub for your job I hope you get a pass.
And hope the roads get wet but you are not driving on slick roads. Be careful, be safe, be wary of the other drivers who are less safe and smart.
THANK YOU!!!!!
