Quotes and Other Updates

Of course, when I am the busiest, I have a ton to write about and not enough time to write it in. But, at least, I have a cathartic outlet, so I'll try not to bitch too much.

I WAS ACCEPTED!! I received my letter yesterday that I may begin my graduate studies anytime in the next year. I admit that while I fully expected to be accepted, it still feels pretty good to get that letter.

Yesterday was the kids' first tennis lesson and they LOVED it. It's only a four week session but I'll sign them up for the next session if they continue to enjoy it. Apparently the instructor was amazing... I wouldn't know. Bryson took them to tennis while I enjoyed an Ice Cream Social at the kids new school. It was a Parent Orientation and I really expected the worst, but to my delight the parents, teachers, administrators were all fantastic and there was no hazing. Whew!

I've decided I don't like doing teams and classes in the Summer, for the kids. When we're not out of town, we're too busy relaxing to care about competition, but in the Fall and Winter we have to be here anyway, so we might as well enjoy some extra curricular activities. Benjamin is signed up for Tae Kwon Do twice a week and Juliet is signed up for Ballet and Tap. They take tennis together. It is going to be an exciting Fall!

Ben(6): "You know. You can't point at nothing. Even if you go like this, and point at the sky, somewhere there is a space rock or a star or something."
