quiet morning

Quiet morning with the kids back in school. I am watching a borrowed copy of the movie Nim's Island and it is a lot of fun.

The rain did hold off, and I got to watch Steven play soccer on Friday afternoon. He is now a varsity starter on defense. he is very proud of that, and so am I.

Work was actually very quiet last night in a welcome change. I am hoping that will keep up for a few nights for a nice break.

yuck

Work was busy and awful again the last couple of days. I hope I do not have to pay the price on my days off with frequent trips to the bathroom~!

Tomorrow, weather allowing, I will get to watch Steven playing soccer. I also plan on going grocery shopping. I am a lot more excited about the former than the latter.

We've been finally getting some rain after a month of drought. Today's rain consisted of the remnants of hurricane Gustav. I am so glad it was not another Katrina when it hit New Orleans...

I try not to follow politics other than to be a somewhat informed voter. I have always been a moderate independent voter, who has never belonged to a party - and who is very much turned off by both parties. But I am appalled that one of the vice presidential candidates has ties to a secessionist party. What in the name of God??? How could either of the main parties consider something like that to be at all appropriate? I thought I was cynical about politics and politicians beyond any possible shock. I expect all politicians to be corrupt liars of the first degree and hypocrites beyond measure. But to have someone with ties to a secessionist party possibly one heartbeat away from the Presidency? I was wrong about not being able to be shocked anymore. God save us all!

kids are back in school

After all of that anticipation, I was sick as hell with stress diarrhea for most of the weekend (something which has been happening this morning as well). Work has been busy for the last few weeks, and stress is getting to me pretty hard.

Steven is back in high school as of yesterday, and today Bill started classes at Eastern Michigan University.
