This summer has been a good one. The kids are ready to start school and to be honest, I am ready for them to start school too. The three of them together everyday, all day can be trying at times. They are three individuals with three minds of their own and they don't always agree. Shocking! I love having them at home, but they need a break from each other. The start of school is perfect for that.
Yesterday was meet the teacher. Alex is starting Kindergarden. Maddie is going into 2nd grade. Nathan has one more year home with momma. That is very exciting for me. Maddie said to me the other day, "meet the teacher is my favorite school event of the year." She is so stinking cute! She used the word event which made me laugh. Maddie's teachers name is Jennifer which means she is pretty close to my age. Heather and Jennifer were very popular in the 70's. She seems very nice. Praying for a good year for both my girls. I also found out yesterday that the school PTA needs a Historian, one to photograph and do the annual scrapbook. That would be me. Yours truly, Historian Heather.
On a sad note, we just recently found out that our dog has bone cancer. The kids don't know a thing yet. Delta is doing better now she is one some pain medication. We are not sure what or when we will tell the kids. For now Mark and I have decided to do the no treatment, treatment.... Basically she is 13 or 14 years old and has lived a good long dog life. We will keep doing medication as long as it makes her feel better. Until then I think we are going to spoil her to death, really. She getting bacon fat on her food more than normal and had sausage for breakfast this morning. It is not going to be easy so a little prayer for my family as we go through this life changing event would be greatly appreciated.
On a happy note (lets end on a good note) My dad has a job here, starting September 6th. Just a month from now my parents will be living in the same town! PINCH ME! I am so excited for me. I am going to be honest (again) I am so spoiled and I just can't help being excited for me. Date nights, going to the kids school at will to do whatever without the boy, shopping without all the kids, did I mention date night. I am excited for my parents too! Everything listed above meets my moms needs, BABYSITTING her grandkids. Life is good!
