Really quick. A semi-busy, but fun evening. Homework, taxi service, baths, and playing each other in a massive tournament over on Webkinz. The girls beat me into the ground! But they caught me in a weak moment.
Meelie landed her ROBHS (round off back handspring) several times tonight with no assistance. Then there was that time that she kind of fell on her head, and I had to get up and leave the gym, trusting the coaches to handle it.
Godzilla Math Teacher has arrived for Chickie. She told them that for the first few weeks she was letting them off easy, but now all bets are off. The textbooks have been assigned, and homework (if tonight is any indication) will be flowing out the wazoo. I'm thankful this happened after the whole probabilities incident.
Birthday weekend was AWESOME (if you don't count the blood).
I'm trying to remain calm about my dentist appointment on Wednesday. So far so good, but then again it's only Monday.
Lots of thunder and lightening and RAIN! And power outages! When I walked out of the house, and through the garage this evening, I was reminded of a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds." About 25-30 birds were swarming in circles all around our front yard. In this particular instance they weren't attacking humans but were intent upon feasting upon all of the insects that showed up after a particularly nasty storm.
As for me? I'm coping. Schedules are falling into place and as we are getting into more of a routine (loose), I've come to realize that this year is much better than last. It's all good. I just need to keep plugging away. Your words of support and encouragement have done a lot for me. For that, I thank you.
On that note, I bid you adieu. I need to put my youngest's hair in a braid, and then we are off to read another chapter of Charlotte's Web.
As you can see, there really was nothing here but us chickens for this post. But, if you are still with me, I thank you for reading this far. As for tonight? I'm feeling like things are going to be ok. Tomorrow is another day. Life is good.

Just dropping by to see how y'all are doing! It's been a while since we've heard from you. Oh lordy....if I saw that many birds flying above me, I would truly think I'm dying...or an omen of some kind. That would freak me out.
Good luck with the dentist.

I've had mornings like that, when I looked out the kitchen window and saw all the birds in the neighborhood in our backyard hunting worms and other goodies flushed to the surface from the storm.
