As the Sun Slowly Sets In The West....

Summer is drawing to a close and the mad rush to get ready for school has begun. Megan had her 6th grade/middleschool orientation last night. She found her locker and had to try it 10 times to make sure she could open it. I showed her where everything was, since I have had 3 kids go through ahead of her. She stated as we were leaving that she doesn't want to go to middle school. Give it a week and she will love the variety of it all. She is one of my kids that doesn't like it when things change a lot. Little changes are okay but not big ones. She is already upset and obsessing over her big brother leaving for college next fall. My little worry wart. She wanted to go with us this past weekend to look at colleges to make sure the places were good enough for her brother. Its gonna be a toss up which female in this house will miss Ian most.

Ian and I had a whirl wind weekend looking at 2 colleges and seeing some of the sites of Boston. We had some adventures with riding the train and the weather was sooooo hot but we still managed to get a lot in in such a short time. He loves both places so now we have to apply to his 5 choices and go from there. He has his first football game on Friday. It amazes me that he stuck to it. It is really tough the first few weeks with double sessions but he loves it. He loves the acceptance of being on a team being one of the guys. For that reason I am glad he did it. He is so much more happy when involved in something be it football, swimming or one of the plays.

I took Sara yesterday to talk to the head doctor and have her give us an opinion as to what is going on with her. Her moods have been off the charts these past few weeks and everybody around her is suffering the wrath. Swimming usually is a pick me up for her but the meanness of the girls on the team coupled with Sara's personality has made it not as much fun this year. Teenage girls can be such asses. I just want to grab them and slap them. The doctor gave her something to help her sleep and a mood leveler so only time will tell. I love her so much it hurts to see her have to suffer so much and I want to do everything within my power to help her.

Sean's practices for football have just started and he is happier this year because he worked out all summer in some form or another and he started with the rest of the team this year. Last year he missed the first week of practices and never caught up. He says he will be a starter on the defensive line so I will be attending a lot of football games oh weeeee. Go Mustangs!!!

As for me I still don't know if I have a job or not. I have a bad feeling that its a not. So I will be hunting for a new job and have to find one asap. I am still not 100% but hope by next week when everybody is back in school and I will not be running all over kingdom come it will be better. So I am off for my 4th trip down the hill today to take Ian to practice. It was 9 trips yesterday.
