Fall oncoming
Change is in the air. Finally after nearly a month of uber-hot weather, we finally have clouds and occasional showers. This is the beginnings of Fall. There are other signs as well. I’ve started recieving correspondance from the schools. They’ve begun informing me exactly how many fees I’ll be required to pay so that my child can have a locker and books for her middle school experience. We are definitely on the last slippery slope of summer, sliding toward back-to-school night. In response, I’ve started getting out of bed before 8 am. That has been nigh impossible all summer. Why bother to rush out of bed if there is nowhere in particular to go? But now I do have places to go and things to do. It feels good.
However before I can get up a good head of steam on fretting over school, I have to pull off a family reunion. It is next weekend and I am in charge. It will all go just fine and the only one who will hold me responsible for difficulties will be me, but that doesn’t stop me from fretting a little. I’m good at fretting. If I get it all done ahead of time, then I can enjoy the actual event much more.
