Summer is coming to an end..

Okay it really isn't coming to an end...why because August is so freaking hot here and so is September. I am not looking forward to more hot and humid weather. However, Monday is the first day of school. The twinzies start middle school and rah rah is going to be a senior. The twins are playing their billionth game of Mine Craft and Rah Rah is still doing her summer homework which is Calculus AB . I on the other hand...well not such great news. I can't enroll in school until January. Unaware that I needed to have a fresh transcript of JR College AND my freaking failure of a HS transcript. They will be bewildered as to how I graduated. Also, there was no way I was going to learn Elementary Algebra in two weeks. Besides, I want to fly out to see my mom. 

When I turn 50 this year I had a plan. I wanted to go to Spain and walk the Camino de Santiago. Unfortunately, this walk takes weeks. It is a spiritual journey and thought it would be great to accomplish that. I have no time and my Achilles is not going to be well until I have a procedure done on it. The doctor will numb it, shock it and then I have to stay off of it for weeks. Then I will be able to walk. I haven't walked in years. I can walk, but I just can't do it for long periods of time. So, then I though a couple of days in the Florida Keys and well...I would have to go alone and I don't know if I want to do that. So, as boring as it might seem I am going to visit my mother. I want to go to CA but everyone I know works. So, I fly out for a weekend ? Maybe that isn't such a bad idea. Anyway, I don't like being apart from my kids for long.

My child got her drivers license and I cried. I think its just one of those steps into becoming an adult and it broke my heart. It shouldn't...we even bought her a used Volvo. I absolutely love it and she doesn't like it . The front end is too big for her. Seriously ? The Volvo Stay Wag is AWESOME !  So, now we have adopted it and love it for ourselves. She gets to have a mini van instead. She drives to school on Monday....oh that is going to be fun ! Anyway, I am sad that she will be in college next year and I don't feel like I have had my fill of Rah Rah. Rowing has kept her so busy that I will miss her. 

Well today is Saturday and I will be doing laundry and dishes and grocery shopping while the rest of our city is going to the beach. Oh well, maybe its another trip to the pool today. Sadly we bought a membership to the local pool and the kids never wanted to go. What is wrong with the world ?? My great childhood memories were spent at the pools in my community....now its computers :(
