Show and Tell?

I had to run to Fort Worth yesterday. Oh, okay. I saw a chance to escape and I took it. None the less, my darling husband had to do the afternoon pick-up. Which is sort-of like driving through the bowels of Hell with 4,000 drunk morons.



Yes, it is that bad. Alright. Maybe not quite that bad but close enough.



So, I call him on his cell one hour after school gets out. He's pulling into our driveway. Keep in mind our small town is all of 1 square mile. See, it is that bad. Yes, I could be exaggerating a little bit. But only a little. Anyway, he tells me I had better watch my mouth while I'm driving. Crap.



"What did Duncan say?" I asked trying to sound a little bit innocent.



"He yelled out- What's this genius think he's doin'" He said, quite indignant.



I laughed out loud. Then I quickly promised to watch it while I silently prayed that Duncan didn't share with his Daddy my other "names" for the bad drivers.

And So It Begins.....

Well, I'm back. It's been a super fast couple of weeks filled with shopping, summertime fun, family visits and school supply hunting.

I'm always, always amazed just how quickly the summer flies by. I remember so clearly the last day of school- it seems like it was merely a day or two ago and not almost 3 months ago. In fact, I remember a project I started that day, think I might want to go finish that up now. Hmmm.

The kidlets are happily in school complete with new lunch boxes and backpacks. And schedules and expansion folders. Plastic folders with brads and pockets. 2 red, 1 blue, and 1 purple, please. Rulers, pencils, glue, scissors, glue sticks, map colors, twistable colors, red pens, blue pens, 3 ring binders with zippers, 3 ring binders with no zippers, composition books, book covers, spiral notebooks..............

I think I made my point.

And now, I have no idea what to do with myself. I have a "to-do" list with approximately 7,152 things on it. And here I sit with my Tazo tea (because I am ultimately, amazingly cool) doing nothing at all.
