On a more personal note, my triumph which I am most exultant about: I AM EXCUSED FROM JURY DUTY!!!! Huzzah! That is all.
What are your tragedies or triumphs this week? How do you cope with tragedy or celebrate triumph?

Tuesday Triumph & Tragedy
It's Tuesday, one day closer to the weekend. More importantly, the last day of my children's freedom summer vacation. Yes folks, school starts tomorrow here. We have an even split -- one child (DD) is excited, one child (DS) is not. This is not surprising because DD is 7 & DS is 16, lol. To the best of my knowledge, there is not much that is exciting for a 16 y/o male; evidently due to the resultant loss of the "cool factor" with any show of emotion. So, back to the title of the post... A school related triumph was the successful, albeit grumpy, awakening of DD @ 7:00. A school related tragedy was the unsuccessful awakening of DS @ the same time (or @ 7:30, 7:45, 8:45); he finally dragged himself to quasi-consciousness @ 9:15. This is tragic simply because somebody is going to have a rude awakening (literally & figuratively) tomorrow @ 6:30AM. Sigh.

I have neither tragedies nor triumphs this week, but traditionally we take the kids out for ice cream on the last day of summer vacation. School starts next week for us; we're mentally preparing. I dread the increase in anxiety in my kids. Meeting on Friday to talk about IEP for one kid; setting up homebound schooling services for another kid. Ice cream sounds REALLY good right now, actually!
ReplyDeleteescaping jury duty is beyond awesome! good job!
ReplyDeleteahh, end of summer, where did the time go? hooray for no jury duty, although that would have made for some interesting blogging... or maybe not since you can't talk about anything...
ReplyDeleteSRMM ~ I totally understand! DD was ZINGING after open house (sensory issues). Sigh
ReplyDeleteLiz ~ I was excited! As if you couldn't tell, lol.
2Girls ~ I would have changed the names to protect the innocent, though. Doesn't that make it OK?? lol
