Moving along through summer

Summer is going quickly, as it does every year!  Next Wednesday is the 1/2 way point, which just seems so hard to believe.  Robert leaves in 26 days.  Time is moving rapidly.

Tomorrow morning Catherine and Thomas leave for a church trip to Houston...which means they have to fly.  I want to vomit about it, but I am working on making sure my anxieties and neuroses do not have an impact on my children.  I have dreaded this day since last fall when they signed up, and will be so grateful when they are home again late Sunday night (actually early Monday morning).

I have applied for a job, but not one I wrote about recently.  This one is at the University in town, but is still part-time.  It pays much better, but of course would be year-round.  I have tremendous guilt about the fact that I really don't want this job.  I love, love, love what I do with subbing.  However, we have bills to pay, and after all of the unexpected bills of the last several years and redoing our bathroom, our safety net is much smaller.  Andrew is very supportive and says he is okay if I still only sub this year, but I really feel as though I need to be adding more to our income.

We are busy, busy around here trying to get the house ready for Robert's send-off party.  I am grateful, for the most part, for how everyone is working together!
