This is going to be a big conglomerate post containing thoughts all over the place!!!!
This summer was b-u-s-y!!!
School ended, and we were here one week before leaving town. We spent a week in Maryland. We came home for a week and went to Orlando. We stayed there about a week and came back home. A week later, we left for Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. We got back on a Wednesday, and poor Ethan started school Monday!!! We were home 2 weeks the whole summer . . . but we had a GREAT time!!!
Today was Ethan’s second day of school. We switched him to a private school this year. I know kindergarten is different than 1st grade, but every time I picked him up last year and asked him what they did, he would answer, “Recess, lunch, PE, more recess, and snack!!” The first day at this school, I asked him what he did, and he said in a huff, “Work, and a lot of it!!” LOL I told him that’s what we’re paying for . . . hehe. I think hope he will be much happier at this school. Unfortunately, it’s not a free ride like last year was. He actually has to work now . . . 
He is not excited about school, however. He would rather stay home with mommy (according to him!!!).
Emily is so excited to see Ethan when we pick him up. And I’m LOVING the quiet and lack of constant battle and bickering at the house. Today, Emily said, “Bubba, I’m so proud of you for going to school!!!” LOL . . . Emily is officially potty trained. She wears a diaper to bed, but she’s in undies the rest of the day . . . even out!! Anyway, I’ve been telling her how proud I am of her using the potty and such. So she decided to be proud of Ethan!!! Of course, she told me she was proud of me for going potty like a big girl, too.
Really, I came on here to post some meteor stuff to keep track of. Seems that this isn’t a good year for the Perseid shower because the moon is bright, not to mention it’s cloudy here tonight!! But there will be a few more this year – Orionids (October 21), the Leonids (November 17), and the Geminids (December 14). Ethan was looking forward to the meteor shower tonight as was I. Hopefully one of these others will be better!!!
Oh, on a TTC note . . . still in a holding pattern. I had laproscopic surgery in June. Tubes are not blocked, and everything looks great. Looks like September will be the next month we will do more with the RE. Not sure what that entails . . . clomid and ultrasounds or whatever.
I have to go to bed. That 6am alarm clock comes mighty early!!!
