still raining
I'm home today to attend graduation.
It is gray and muggy here - which is no surprise as it has rained EVERY DAY.
I would imagine that the field (on which we assemble and applaud) is very muddy (and I'm positive that some women will be wearing heels) and would guess that by the time the ceremony is over (and the rain begins, as it is expected at 1:00) that there will be nothing left of the grass.
But it's not mine to worry about...so....
What a week I've had!
Do I say that every Friday?
I don't mean to imply that anything bad happened but I was just so busy and there were all kinds of crises and it all worked out in the end. I don't mind it when things go awry (the business trip I planned for my boss being changed a few times) or if there is emotional turmoil in the office (an assistant let go) or when I literally need to run from one end of the building to the other (forgotten papers). I love being exhausted at the end of the day. I love working completely behind the scenes (no one ever sees my best work) and having it all come together at 5:30.
It's all especially handy in distracting me from things that might make me a little crazy at home too...
Youngest is now in his "spending time on the couch playing video games" portion of summer vacation. If I was at home this would madden me. He stays up very late too (and I've noticed that pattern in my former 15 year old boys) and sleeps very late in the morning. Happily, I'm not usually here to be aggravated by that.
My sister-in-law asked me, yesterday, about what I'm bringing to the Cape (she and her family go to the Cape too and we share the cooking) and I've been so busy that I haven't given the Cape much thought. If I was at home all day I'm sure we'd be nearly ready to go - as it stands, I think I'd better give it some thought this weekend (and, perhaps, make some piles of clothing to think about packing).
Have you seen this? As ten million people have seen it I find it unlikely that you haven't, but go, watch it again. It makes me smile until my face hurts.
I'm off to see the receiving of the diploma!

Have a wonderful time, tear up, and enjoy YOUR accomplishments at raising 3 fine, fabulous sons!

You can worry about everything else tomorrow.

Thank you for that Dance Bit. It was AMAZING. HEART.
Congrats to Middle!
May the sun shine a little.
Sleeping 'till allmost noon is a common theme for young folk too.
Can't wait to hear about the graduation, if that's on the blog agenda. I imagine there would be some interesting people watching there.
Good luck on this weekend's catch-up.

(I never understood that when my 6th grade teacher wrote it in my yearbook.)
I had NOT seen Stavros. So fun.

Congratulations Middle (and family)
I think there are exciting things out there in the future for you.
Your talent and passion for what you do will take you places!
Enjoy the ride!
And thanks for the video link, I had NOT seen it :)
