Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It’s hot. It’s been hot for two solid months. It’s technically now Fall. It’s still hot. 81 degrees in my house on 9/23 at 3pm with NO BREEZE coming in ANY open window. That’s just too damn hot. Due to the hot, I am immensely lazy. I don’t want to run. I don’t want... Continue Reading →
Another summer - done! Another school year begins. Here's the status I just dropped on Facebook: First day of 11th grade! No, I didn't take any pictures (I am lame and he wouldn't have allowed it anyway). No, I didn't honk and encourage cars to run over the students streaming across the intersection when the...

For 16 that is. Driving him in this morning for the morning football session we realized that in one week it will be a school day drop off instead. You know what makes the summer fly by? Taking online classes and playing football that's what! Remember how I complained about checking in to five classes... Continue Reading →
Having no specific topic or opinion on my mind that wont offend a ton of people right now, I shall resort to the mundane - what I did on my summer vacation. Hang on. I don't get summer vacations. Damn. Fine then - here's what I've done pretty much since July, how's that? Work (day... Continue Reading →
Yes, the days are long. That could mean it is summer and I'm loving the longer daylight hours such as last night when we stayed on Fiesta Island at our monthly bonfire later than ever. I was driving home at 8:45pm and noticed that while the sun was long gone, the sky was still clinging... Continue Reading →
Do you know people who are always happy? I mean, REALLY happy? Like when they smile you can just SEE how real it is? I do - and to my great surprise (ok, maybe I just suck as a friend), I just put all this together about some friends of mine who I have known... Continue Reading →
Seriously - is it? I know we typically all lament how darn FAST the days/weeks/months fly by, but either this blogging every day thing has made time slow down or else the 31 days of May are THE longest 31 days of the year! Now, I know I cannot attribute this feeling to just the... Continue Reading →
But first.... The *plan* today was to lounge as usual during Uppers, then run on the 56 trail avoiding the extreme hills for a change, then shower, then start writing, then eventually head over E & R's place for afternoon working and dinner. That latter bit didn't quite happen, but I did have a really... Continue Reading →
The day started off odd enough. First 15 was up and showering by 6:30 on his own - I can only imagine this was due to him having sort of reset his clock this week in preparation for yesterday's REALLY early morning for the AP test. So I was in the office by 7:30 and rolling along... Continue Reading →
That's pretty much how I feel today. Meh. Eh. Shrug. Whatever. Nothing is wrong. Nothing hurts. I slept fine so I'm not tired. But, I'm also not focused and refreshed and sparkly. I'm just - meh. One of those days for no logical reason at all when you would just sit there and watch tv... Continue Reading →
