Today is our first day of school. Oh dear...lol. I don't think I forgot anyone. It really was good to see the kids and I can't believe how much some have grown and changed. Didn't have any problems (thank you God) getting the kids to school and I didn't have any of them cry because they were afraid. I don't think the bus is going to be quite as full this year.

It sure is hot and humid today and suppose to be the same tomorrow. Those big yellow bananas don't have air conditioning so it gets quite hot and dusty. This weekend though it's suppose to cool down nicely into the 70's....I sure hope so.

Not much else going on right now.

I'm glad that your first day went so well. It will probably be nice to not have as many kids. That will make it shorter to pick up and to take home.


I tried to go swimming again yesterday. I was afraid that the water had cooled down because our nights have been getting cooler. I was right.......after one lap I got out......it was just too cold. I'm going to miss swimming!!

Are you glad to be back in the bus routine Janet?

Diana, it has gotten so cold here in the past few days! Last Thursday it was so hot, we had Scott's dad out for supper and ate outside at 8:30. And now I'm wearing sweaters constantly and we turned on the furnace this morning after I woke up shivering! I think summer is gone for this year!

I have worked so much OT in the past month or so. I will probably be working all night tonight, and tomorrow we will submit the project. As I think I mentioned before, we have a bunch of designers working here with me from Arizona and Mexico. Tomorrow night they are going to have a big Mexican feast here, and our boss is supplying drinks, and we are inviting the client out as well for a celebration. Yay we're done! Lol. I am taking next week off work, because frankly, I'm burning out.

This weekend, Scott and I are heading halfway to my home to go to our friends' wedding. We'll stay overnight in a hotel (with a pool and two waterslides so we can have waterslide races LOL! We're dorks) and then going to visit my parents for Sunday and Monday. They're going to take Layla for us while we're at the wedding. I'm so lucky to have them around for that!

LOLOL....Lindsey...I guess I'm glad to be back in a routine, not sure about the bus part....

The afternoon route went very well also. I did have one boy cry a little bit, but I had him talk to another little girl and then he was fine. His dad did ride the bus with us this morning because he has anxiety issues....mostly for just new and different things. Once he gets use to something then he's okay.

I don't have quite as many kids at this time, but I have to travel more distance so it's a longer route. Oh well... What else have I do to...lol

It got up to 91 today and tomorrow heading toward 94 with high humidity. Man.....that bus is gonna be hot. Let's see.... one day down....179 to go.

I'm looking forward to the Labor Day weekend. Not sure why....we never do anything...and there really isn't much to do. I'm getting that couped up feeling can ya tell? I need to get out of this house for awhile.

I have been keeping up with reading all of your posts about vacations, new puppies and work beginning. It sounds like all is well, thank goodness! The various vacations sound wonderful, and Kirby and Marilyn's new pups do also.

I haven't had a chance to sit down and type. It's not that I have been so busy...it's more that I've been too lazy! This week has been hot, and we are all enjoying just sitting at the pool together. I have become very close with my summer friends, and have enjoyed this summer so much! They are leaving next week, and I will be sad. I will also miss the easy going activities of summer, which I love. The pool, grilling dinner, hanging out, and so on, have been so great, as well as having friends right here. I probably would have been very happy if I had retired to Florida, but I have my family here, and it is an amazing place to live.

It is just hard work to get together, especially in the winter! I have been taking my writing courses, and start a new one on Sept. 13th. Pottery has been lots of fun, and is pretty much ongoing. I am on the Board of 2 organizations, so have those meetings and get togethers. I'm also running for the Board here at my development. There are 3 candidates, and 2 slots though. The other two have had condo Board experience, so I don't know what will happen. I think I should win though!

My cousins are coming up today, just for the day. I am glad that I will see them, but it's going to be in the 90's and hate to give up a pool day! My cousin Lynn cannot sit in the sun. Oh well! At least they aren't staying over. Today and tomorrow may be our last warm days for this summer.

Everything else is fine. Jessie isn't feeling great, but she has been doing too much, which will end soon. She is directing "Annie," which will go on on 9/18.
The kids are fine, growing up so fast!

Love you all

Judy, you have been busy!! I know how you feel about giving up your pool days. We've cooled off and I tried to swim but the water was just too cold for me. It's been such good exercise and so refreshing.

You're running for an office!!! Yay!! I hope you win......I'd vote for you!!!

I'm sure that you're going to miss your friends when they leave for the winter. At least you'll still have your writing class and your pottery class to stay busy with!!

I'm sure that Jessie is run down since she's so busy with this play. Once she gets this done she'll have time to rest especially since the kids are in school. She really needs to take care of herself. But I expect that she's really enjoying the play and working with all of the kids!!
