Gotta Shake This Feeling

Dinner is done. The house is fairly clean (at this exact moment - it probably won't be for long). Daniel's staying at work tonight. (Daniel doesn't want people to think that he does nothing but work. He does spend most of Saturdays and Sundays with us, BTW.)

I'm thinking about school starting. I'm finally done with summer this week. We still haven't had many friends to play or done some other things we (I) had planned, but it's time for the kids to go back. Having 3 kids doesn't sound like much until you have them with you ALL day ALL the time. I'm tired.

The house (as I mentioned earlier) has a very hard time staying picked up. Adam has always loved to play with little things and leaves them ALL OVER THE HOUSE, not to mention his socks. I fell asleep on the couch in the afternoon today and woke up to 5 or so varying decks of cards spread out in a 'maze'. Sigh.

The school carnival is only a month away. We have a meeting on Wednesday. I really hope it all goes well and I don't drop the ball somewhere.

The Raingutter Regatta (like the Pinewood Derby, but boats) for Isaac's scouts is coming up. I have the kit, but I just can't wrap my head around having to help him make his boat. The car last year took a long time. BTW, Isaac did just recently earn his Bear. Hooray!

My good friend and neighbor is moving and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm excited for her, but sad about having them leave....and a little jealous. Sometimes I would like to try a new start and move into a lovely new home. (Yes, I do love this house and would be sad about that too.) But secretly, I think I'd enjoy packing up my stuff and unpacking it. (I may be wrong about this; people say it's not fun.) It would just be nice to take a look at what I actually own and determine if it's really worth having.

I had a few minutes of quiet there. It ended abruptly.
