Y'all Will Be So Proud
I began to write a long post about the things that I have been musing on today, but then I stopped myself and deleted what I had written. The Queen of Over-Analysis has just decided that she is too tired to analyze everything to death- at least for today. It was a good day today, even though we had 23 students for Circle Time in the afternoon and it was more than a little crazy. Alicia and I discussed the situation and I think that we worked out some of the bugs in the program, and hopefully our trial tomorrow will go a lot smoother. I won't toy with your intellects by telling you what all of the problems have been- but my stress level is much less than last year at this time, because I am not stranded in a room alone for the entire day, as I was last year, and I have the entire room for my kids, as last year all of annie's stuff needed to still be in the room. Its exciting to be the first to use the new school, and I am trying to instill a sense of respect for the school and the money that it has taken to give it to them. Annie called me around 4:30 to ask if it was okay for Mark to borrow my goggles, and that made me sad, as I sat there in the 90 degree weather, thinking about annie, lisa, angie, mark and jess all out in the pool. I actually managed to be home by 6:45 and quickly shoved a couple pieces of annie's expertly made pizza into my system and made it down to the pool in record time. No waiting an hour for me. Paul and Melissa and Scott were also all down there, but by the time I made it, only Paul was still swimming. Paul and I played for a bit and raced some (I won mostly) but I wasn't in my best form after working all day and eating heavy food. It was lots of fun though. There were several families with their kids there, and it made me want to take Eugene swimming. Someday if I get out of work soon enough I will, or maybe if Annie and I watch Grace and Luke again.
Oh, I didn't mention Luke's accident yet. My poor Lukie! He was playing at the park for Grandma's birthday when he tripped on something on the ground and fell face-first into a horseshoe stake!!! His actual eye is fine, but his eyelid has super glue in the place of stitches and he is developing quite the purple bruise. The other kids think its pretty cool, but he doesn't seem to want to talk about it too much. It could be because when he had stitches on his hand he had to rehash it over and over, but I think it might be because it is pretty close to what happened to Grandpa Sheck, though his accident was much more severe and did have eye damage. I feel so bad for Julie right now, both her father and son in accidents involving head injuries. I can't imagine it, seeing your little boy all bleeding- my heart aches for him, and I'm not even his mom! He was also behind on his 5 year old shots, so to top it off he had to go to the doctor and get stuck with needles! I have such sympathy thinking about when I broke my nose- the thought of seeing it coming, knowing its going to hurt, but its all so fast that you can't stop it. Okay, now I'm thinking about it too much.
Okay, back to my day- we also watched Mona Lisa Smile, which is better the second time around, especially if you're not starting it at midnight, and facing exhaustion. Then angie and I went on a walk and talked about.....John! Surprised? Didn't think so. No, it was a really good conversation and we talked about other stuff too and relationships in general, and watched some stupid people racing their cars on winchell. 3 SUVs and a Beetle. weirdness.

I needed some fresh air today, both real and metaphorical. (90 degrees today and not even officially summer)
