It is what it is

Well, I guess it makes more accept fall all the more! It will be in the 60's and getting cooler thru next week. I can't believe how blessed we were with the perfect weather all 3 days of the wedding festivities last weekend. At least it will cool off in the school building soon. 103 in Arizona today so they are "cooling" off there too! Some errands to do (flu shot at Target?), and our first fall neighborhood Trivia group tonight. Many of the wedding flowers still look nice. Too bad I couldn't get them to Hospice with all their construction going on but we gave some away and others have enjoyed them too. The yard still looks gorgeous. It will be time to bring in all the houseplants soon and i never know where they will all go! All those geraniums go to school and my room is already packed. So much to do both at school and home. One Day at a Time...one thing at a time...it is what it is.

Why did Friday come more quickly when it was summer? Time goes soooo fast. A week already since everyone was here and rehearsal dinner. Talked to Andrew tonight and he and Brian were officially married in Cape Cod this morning. He said it took all of 10 minutes!! They were flying back to Arlington tonight and are safely home. I am missing everyone. Went to a really good writing workshop all day today. Putting up fall decorations, I guess I can't fight it any longer! Haven't been in the pool for a week now. I think it might be officially OVER!!! HA! It is noticeably cooler in the morning and in the evening. Oh well, a week from today is October! It is what it is.

Ok, ok so I have been lax! It has been a whale of a week and I haven't blogged since Monday! This is now Thursday. My 6th graders are driving me friggin nuts! They won't stop talking and fooling around. Finally feel like I am getting a handle on being back at school. Out tomorrow for a writing workshop at Rock Financial Showplace....I feel so important. I had a dermatologist appt. today and had to scoot out the door after school and one of my 5th graders said..."Oh we didn't realize you were sick!" True! Started science today and spent 2 days catching up from being gone. Where does the time go? Piano lesson tonight and it was dark by 7:30 ugh! It is what it is!

The newleyweds are in Boston, probably by Cape Cod now. In-service today: "anybody?" So many things to get done and so little time! Working on a computer program for the students tomorrow. It may be nice to really get started with my class! Ok, off to work...around the house that is! It is what it is!

Back to reality tomorrow, early wake-up and workshop due to Eid. I don't know where to start on the most incredible wedding I have ever been to. The support was incredible. It has been a lot of work and a lot of prep time but every second was worth it. I am sorry everyone had to leave soo soon! I spent the day just catching up. It started out dark and rainy and so did I feeling it would never get better! But lots of work and business chases the blues away. So many thoughts and feelings. The guys are almost home, a few more hours. Can't wait to be together again. About 70 + days until Thanksgiving. Love it all....love you guys all! Footnote, old people need to be tested or get off the road! It is what it is!!!

Too much to say so I won't say anything. Why do we have storybook ideals about everything? The dog is happy to have so many people around!!!!!! So much left to do for Brian & Andrew's wedding tomorrow. Guess I better get busy. Weather is perfect. Still never lost that 30 lbs. It is what it is!

Only Matt & Dana to come home yet. Andrew & Brian arrived first about 6:30. Highway work slowed them down a bit. Amanda's plane was changed, seat changed, an hour late and when they finally boarded, taxied to take off, the pilot announced there was a crack in the windshield and the defroster wasn't working so they returned to the gate to wait (better safe for sure). She was nearly 2 hours late but arrived safely and that is what is important. Planned for what to do today and everyone was just worn out! Still a lot of ground to cover (both work and wedding) Shopping, piano lesson etc. Off to fun. It is quite chilly this morning (high 40's). Fall is imminent.....it is what it is
