Well, here we are in September! and I haven’t posted in about a year. Time just slips away from me…
Connor had his eighth birthday back in March. Sionna will have her fourth birthday this coming December.
We are still homeschooling, although sometimes it is a power struggle with Connor. Homeschool P.E. starts tomorrow at the YMCA. We’ll try it for a few weeks and see if it is more structured than the past 2 semesters. I don’t see the point in paying for “supervised playtime” when the kids should have some kind of curriculum.
While Connor’s in P.E. and Sionna’s in the child-watch room (which she dislikes intensely), I’ll try to work out for the first time since early May.
John broke his arm back in March (the 24th to be exact) while riding his Harley. The bike had mostly cosmetic damage, easily fixed, with only $250 deductible, while John had to be in a special sling for 6 weeks. His shoulder could not be operated upon, nor could he have a cast. After the sling came off, he had physical therapy for about another 6 weeks. Amazingly, especially to his orthopedist, his x-rays showed he was fully healed after those 12 weeks. Apparently, most people with this type of injury are not fully healed for at least 6 months, sometimes taking up to 12 months to heal.
The week after his 12 week check-up, he started riding the Harley again.
I *FINALLY* went to the DMV office and took care of that pesky license problem. Despite the worry about the parallel parking test, I PASSED!!! I was out of the DMV by 9am. That afternoon, I had planned to drive to Lufkin with the kids, while John would ride his Harley, but it was raining, so he drove the car.
This has set the pattern for the past 2 months — Now that I can drive by myself, I rarely have a car, because it has rained nearly EVERY day, and John doesn’t like to ride his Harley in the rain!
Hopefully the weather will clear up soon, and the kids and I can go places during the week when there’s less of a crowd.
