Things on Tuesday

Totally Terrible Things on Tuesday:

• Punk Face starts Freshman Band Camp tomorrow morning.
• The temps will be in the upper 90's with 'feels like' temps in the triple digits.
• I will not be there to lend a helping hand.
• I am quietly freaking out...because my baby is starting high school.
• I am quietly freaking out because my baby will have to walk to the high school---and while the high school is less than a mile (or maybe right at a mile) from the house he has to cross a busy four lane road w/o a crosswalk only being able to cross when the light turns green.  This is when all of that time living out in the country or on a cul-de-sac has come back to being not such a great thing because he hasn't had a lot of practice crossing a busy road.
• He'd be so mortified if he knew I was telling all of this about him.
  

Totally Terrific Things on Tuesday:

• Did I tell you I have a temp job?  I start it tomorrow and it lasts through next Tuesday.
• Punk Face starts Freshman Band Camp tomorrow morning.  (isn't it amazing that somethings can just be wonderful and great while at the same time be so saddening and depressing?)
• Congress (or the House--whoever...I am not a political person although I should be) passed another extended emergency unemployment benefit that should last for four more months.  I hope the other body (Senate?) pass it, too and I am still eligible for the emergency extended benefit.
• Okay, time for bed.  I have to get up in the morning.  :)

Punk Face?

Of course he would!  But apparently, it's a mom's job to embarrass her kids.  Perfectly normal and fairly typical. ;-)

Glad to hear you have a temp job, one that won't interfere with unemployment benefits I hope LOL. My baby graduated high school this year and goes to the marines in October. Talk about freaking out.
