Labor Day was Monday, so it was a four-day week. I've often thought that four-day weeks feel longer than regular weeks. I think it is because, especially in a school week routine, there are certain things that still need to be accomplished and so we just stuff the missed day into the other four.
This week there just seems to be so much sadness. In addition to my cousins' friend who passed, I learned today that a classmates mom passed away. Greg and I were in Kindergarten together and his mother was such a sweet lady. There is all the damage in Houston, and now Florida is in the path of another hurricane. Teddy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry was killed in a plane crash. My mother was in the e/r this afternoon (thankfully all is well). We've had issues with both boys, and while it yanks at my heart, it also terrifies and worries me to no end. I know that is a parent's job, and I'm definitely good at the worrying part.
We have an incredibly busy weekend here. I'm hoping we can enjoy some family time, and I'm grateful for each day we get to be a family.
