Feeling down today, and thought, "I know, the TD girls can cheer me up."
So here goes:
Last night I traded in my beautiful Cadillac Deville with every option you can possibly imagine for a optionless Honda Civic. Why? Because the Cad had the "check engine" light on so it wouldn't pass inspection. It was going to cost me a fortune to fix, so I figured I'd get a new car instead. But what a down grade! Maybe I've just been spoiled by the Cad because the Civic really is an ok car, plus I'll get good gas mileage. It was kinda funny because when I test drove the Civic, I had to come home and make sure my bike rack would work on it since it has a rear spoiler.
Anyway, I laid awake a long time last night mourning the loss of my precious Deville.
On a good note, the weather here has been much cooler, mid 70s. Hope it doesn't rain this weekend so I can go ride--I really need that.

Its just rude to mention Choc Chip cookies when Im having a cup of tea and my biscuit jar is empty. If you drink tea you know its nice to have a few biscuits to dunk.

Hmm sounds like fun but with the kids at home and husband away I would have to bring them too and you know how many biscuits kids can eat.

How many days have you got left before your back with the little blighters??

I go back Aug. 29. The students start a week later. So I still have 3 weeks.

Thats good. The kids start back a little earlier here Aug 16th. All three of mine will be at school this year - Yipee (sorry should I try to hide my glee) yipee (sorry cant do it).

One of the other mums I know who has her youngest starting school this year said oh how sad it all is and how will she cope with the loneliness. Hmm yep thought about that for a second and then blurted but I sure will be able to ride my bike heaps. I did get a strange look for that. I love my kids but hey have I mentioned I WILL BE ABLE TO RIDE MY BIKE MORE YIPEE.

I think it's very important for your kids that you ride your bike heaps.

1. It makes you a happy. A happy mum is a good thing.
2. What a positive example you're setting for them.
3. It makes you happy!

Yeah, I 'm repetitious, but it's very important.

Thanks V and Im sure it will make me super happy.

Are you by chance counting the days?

Is your youngest going full time now?

I think Mr. Fish is counting the days until FishJr starts school (14th). She'll be in 4K - all day. He'll only have Fishfry to contend with. I think the little one is going to miss his sis bigtime!

PP has started having dreams about who her teacher will be (we don't find out til right before school starts). She talks about it a lot and is clearly very excited. I think she's looking forward to being one of the "big kids on campus" in 5th grade this year. I can't believe she goes to middle school next year. Crazy! It goes SO quickly.

By the way, V are you bringing any of those cookies tomorrow?
