Getting closer, lots to do

You know, I think of stuff to write here and by the time I open the window, my words fly elsewhere.

And I’m craving cake because I keep reading about cake balls.

Today I have a site to finish up, laundry mountain to conquer, and a large pot of chowder to make for a supper at the hall. Plus the usual Satruday clean. Oh, and one more trip detail.

As far as the trip, you’ll probably hear more from me than ever, as I’ll have the laptop, a connection and probably some chunks of free time. I may also bring back my twitter posts just for while I’m gone, so you don’t have to check two places. Sheesh, with all the travelling it’s 5 days. I’m gonna miss my family.

Emma was asking about grades and what letter grade she’d get if she was in school. Hard to explain, that is. Then she said she should get an F, for Faaaantastic! She also asked about getting some math workbooks and doing those on a regular basis. Just because.

One of the other detail-oriented projects we’ve been slaving away at is getting Sarah into college. Guess what? IT WORKED! We got a big fat envelope in the mail yesterday.This is what she’s taking: Foundation in Visual Arts. And as long as that goes well, there’s a second year program she’s eying too. I am seething with jealousy, as I wanted to go to this college when I was her age. Yes, this is the same city where Addison & Kaytlyn live.

On the work front, after doing far too many late night and long hours and stressful projects, we’ve come to some recent clarity about what we want to do, where we’re going and – best part – how to get there. And I know it’ll work. No worries, both Ron & I are still continuing to work at home, it’s just a slight shift in focus.

This “vacation” of mine will be a good break to help get started on that.
