Two weeks until school starts. Ash begins pre-k. Down to two at home in the afternoons. Time flies by so quickly.
But I’m kinda tickled about the possibility of having two quiet hours each day to myself. It’s been a long time. And I have sooooooooo much reading to catch up on. Micheal Chabon is my current favorite. And I am going to try “No Country for Old Men.” Movie was pretty disturbing, so I thought I would see what the book was like. If I can love Chuck Palahnuik, I think I can handle quite a bit.

I’m quite pleased with this.

I admit, I have been overly sentimental this week. My eldest turns ten this week and my youngest turns one next month. You would think with four kids I would have had my fill of babies. But when I was folding clothes that Dharma wore when she was two for Holli now that she is two, I got a bit weepy. I start weening George next month. He will be my last. While my heart says, “There’s always room for more,” my wallet and house are shaking their heads furiously, “NO!” (not to mention my husband.) And I think I will be grateful to have my house back one day….maybe.

I finally broke out the lights. It’s being raining so much, there has been little been little opportunity to go out.
Dharma turns ten this next month. I remember looking at her ultrasound, and I could see she had her father’s chin. I’m so glad. Her bone structure has always stunned me. And she’s got a brain to match. Her stories are extraordinary.

Went to the covered bridge today in Burwell, GA. I got lost four times. There’s a reason Josh will no longer let me take directions or give directions. However, I always seem to find my way.

I attempted to take a family picture of the hoodlums, but, as usual, Holli was having now of it. But I think I may have one shot where they are all together. I don’t think it’s within power to get them all looking in the same direction much less smiling…
