saturday

Welp, it's official. The kids are out of school. I'm already fussing at them about picking up after themselves and they've already booked up my life with sleepovers and parties. Life is good.

I'm still working all summer since I'm a 12 month employee but I really don't mind. I have lots and lots of stuff to do during my 10 hour days. It's going to be a good time for clearing up issues and clearing my mind. The silence at a school during the summer is almost theraputic. It's not as theraputic as a beach trip or the mountains, but it'll do.

I'm also hoping to get some reading done this summer. It's been a while since I read anything good. I read the twilight series but that was sort of mind numbing. I want to read real books. Right now I'm reading The Turnaround by George Pelecanos. He was a writer for my favorite tv series, The Wire. Once that's done I'd like to finish Drood and The Reader. I've started each of them but never got more than a few chapters in. I think they each might require my full attention instead of being in the rotation of books I pick up when I can't sleep. Kendall and Trevor have each requested a few books too so I have an order coming from Amazon. I really need to find our liberrry cards and have them take advantage of that, rather than buying books. I don't know though, there's something wonderful about owning a book. I like the smell and the feel and I like the idea that I can read it again later, even though that never happens.

Tessie and Max both still have croup. They were on steriods for a week and it seemed cleared up but last night they both started barking again. I've already done the normal stuff but they need more 'roids. Looks like someone will be making a trip to the dr. this weekend.

This weekend is going to be one of decompression. That party zapped the life out of me and the money out of our wallet. I just need a few days of rest and I'll be ready to play again. I know that by Sunday I'll be bored and want something fun to do but right now I'm not interested in showering or talking or being nice. I just want to sit and be.
