School Haze
Today
8:30: Headed to New London for some tea and wifi
9:30: Finished blogging
10:00: Visited Uniquely Knit, a WONDERFUL tiny shop with a big, big stock of lovely yarns!
10:30: Back to the Spicer house for packing
10:45: Clean out refrigerator
11:00: Clean bathrooms
11:15: Vacuum
11:30: Pack top of car
12:00: Last look through house
12:15: Last look for lost keys (oops)
12:30: Drive to St. Paul
3:15: Arrive home (yay!)
Hannah had time for a QUICK shower before Gerry ran her over to her Jr. High for orientation. I rode over as soon as I'd showered and Max went to watch his friends football practice.
5:30: Max goes to HIS school orientation with his friend, I meet him there
6:00: I rendez vous with his friends' mom who agrees to take Max home, I give her husband a ride over to the Jr. High to pick up their older child's schedule (I was driving, I didn't ride him on my bike...)
6:30: I meet up with Gerry and Hannah and we go through her day, class by class, until 8:30. She will have to go up and down stairs a LOT during her day... It wore out this old mom, let me tell you...
8:45: Gerry and Han drive home, I ride my bike (and make it in record time!) Just in time to see the coverage of BO's acceptance speech. Which I'm watching now as I blog.
My day. Tomorrow I will sleep in. Yes I can.
PS - Thank you SO MUCH for your balanced and kind comments and suggestions on my last post. I think you're right - all of you - and this is probably the time to find a way to make it work locally and do the midwest thing as well as I can. Geeze, I'm lucky to have the balance that a blog gives me, thank you all so much.

From what I can remember (just) of my children's school days, Your post just about sums it up nicely.
They say that Pittsburgh grrls have the best legs in the country because we walk/run stairs so much! Looks like "DD" will be giving us a run for our reputation. Kids always handle these tings better than we do.
I read your blog daily and really enjoy it and the comments. I have awarded you the I Love Your Blog award. Details are on my blog at http://moonsilk-stitches.blogspot.com/ Marjorie
And this is why you will be so glad when H gets her driver's license. I dreaded the day my eldest got hers, just from a worried mom standpoint, and then when she did and I discovered what a difference it made to all of our lives the worry quickly receded. Yes, you have some time before that happens, but it will come!
Holy Cow!
Bruce saw you at Max's school and told me you had to go fast, but who knew how fast?!
I did my best to make an impression on Clare's teacher.
It's my duty as a mom, right?
Happy Birthday!
