The weekend starts early tonight--it's homecoming, and Oldest has a thing to do at halftime with the choir, and so we'll all be turned out in our regalia tonight. Which for me consists of my Huskies stadium chair, but that's enough.
And then tomorrow, Miss Reba completes yet another chapter in her academic career. She will now have two different associate degrees and a BS in Human Resources Management, so I'm hoping she will find a job that pays a couple million dollars a year so I can retire and take up full-time blogging AND open my very own Volvo junkyard. An INDOOR junkyard. That would be cool. Maybe in an old Wal-Mart building. The suburbs are full of them--as they move on to a SuperCenter down the road, the old ones get shuttered and no one ever moves in. But they've got a lot of space, and cashier stands, and so I figure you just stack wounded Volvos up and down where the aisles used to be, give people shopping carts, and let them go shop for what they need in clean, well-lit, indoor accomodations. Maybe even have a deli--Swedish meatballs, you know.
Anyway, she still has to take her final, so I'll go to the library and read, and then that'll be that. For now. And then there'll be church Sunday, and I'll get to find out what all the other people agreed to in my absence, which I'm sure will be interesting, and we start our new quarter, and I found a teacher, which is good, and I'll get to teach Boy and Middle Girl this time--except that will be Wednesday.
Sometime in there, we've also got a stack of laundry to do, and the house to clean. OOOH! And a birthday cake to buy! I just remembered we haven't bought Rebecca a cake yet! She probably enjoyed eating out last night as much as she would enjoy a cake, but there is TRADITION to be invoked, and if you don't get to blow out candles, well, that just ruins everything. So, a cake.
But now?
Time to pack up and get ready. All of you have a great weekend, and I'll see you bright and early Monday!
