August

August is almost over, and I have to say it went fairly quickly.  I am fully back into my school routine.  This week, I had my first practice with my Academic Team kids.  I have to say, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.  I had about 13 kids show up and we played a few "practice" rounds with our buzzer system.  I have some really bright kids on my team!  I am incredibly nervous about our first meet in two weeks...primarily because I am having trouble securing bus drivers (our first two meets are away).  I don't like being stressed about things that shouldn't be stressful!

I am definitely looking forward to this 3 day weekend.  We are taking Ben to his Grammy and Papa's house for one last swim in the "big pool".  He loves swimming, and he loves his Grammy and Papa, so it should be a fun weekend.

Next weekend we are headed to Tennessee to attend my FIFTEEN year high school reunion.  How in the world has it been 15 years??  Growing older scares the &#^@ out of me.  I had a very hard time when I turned 30, and each year it gets a little worse.  I was 18, and then I blinked and now I'm 33.

I will leave you tonight with this picture of my boy...a 2 1/2 year old who looks like a 5 year old in the pic!
