August 13

It's been a crazy day.  It was 9:30 before Andrew and I sat down and felt "done" with our day, although he is still working on school and church emails.  There have been some pretty awful August 13ths in my past though, so this I can deal with.

Five months ago today was our first day "out" of school.  It all seemed so surreal at that point.  I remember we got together with some friends that evening because none of us really understood the seriousness of it all.  Even then, it was still a gathering of less than ten people, and they are people who have been part of our "social bubble" since then.  There are really only three couples we have spent any time with since this all exploded.  We get to see two of them again Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it.  Anyway, it's been five full months without in-person school.

I'm not really looking forward to Andrew beginning on Monday, but I know it's time.  I'm having a bit of a rough patch as suddenly I'm only down to one kid to "parent" full-time, and I have no job to go along with it either.  I'm sure the days will fly by though, and hopefully we will be back in school before we know it!
