It is overcast and rainy in newburgh today. This morning iIgot the boys off with clear weather and enjoyed our adventure to see if we coud make it to school without Slow Pokes who are just out enjoying the drive getting in front of us on the road. This morning we were the only ones in our lane. Beautiful drive. Brendan is so precious as he gets out of the car to go to the choir rehearsals. We remain outside to watch through the glass doors as Brendan disappears inside the school to put up his backpack and then reappears sans backpack and walks into the choir room with usually a friend. Today there were many children scrambling into the school as we sat outside in our car and watched for Brendan. Mr. Boyer, the choir director, was out in the hall and then moved toward the entrance door, appearing to look at a watch on his wrist. Our Brendan made it just fine. Then Michael and Aidan and I did our usual "sit in the teachers' parking lot and watch teachers arrive as we wait for 7:30 to get here so i can drop them off at another lot for parent drop off. This is always a fun time of us talking and me trying to keep them from yelling "hello" or getting out of the car to run and greet every arriving teacher that they like. They like to sit and name all of the types of cars that drive in. There is one Mercedes and they always say, "Boy, look at the mMrcedes" Aidan continues to desire to see a Masarotti (or however you spell that ) drive up. He also calls a "Mercedes" a "Mersaydee", because we cant convince him that there is an "s" at the end of "Mercedes". I will now forever call it Mercedee if i only see one car.

Michael has gone to his doctor's appointment. He is still struggling with insomnia. He said last night he didnt sleep at all. He has yet to chat with his neurologist about the possibility of surgery, but this talk could occur at any time. I dont know if it will be in a "sit down doctor office visit" or just "on the run" chat at the hospital. I'll let you know. Please pray for him. This is so selfish, but selfish is so like me. I really want to be able to go to my neice's wedding and i cant go if Michael is recovering from surgery or if he is having it prior to october 20 . My plan was to leave newburgh on October 14 and return on October 20. I want to go to this wedding. I want my son to be healthy, but I also want so very much to attend this wedding.

He is off work today and will pick the boys up from school today. So i am going to do some heavy housework today. I call it "heavy" since i dont do any house work in houston. I have already mopped the kitchen floor. I need to clean up some spots on the floor where either Zulu or Snowball vomitted. Aint life grand? I have already sprayed it with "Nature's Miracle", but scrubbing must also occur. Ahhh scubbing! I may clean out the refridgerator today too. I said "may". I'll let you know. It is noon right now. Have you read Ronnie Wiggins blog today? It is great. I think, iff you want to get to read it, one goes to ronniewiggins@blogspot.com. He is maypearl maverick. It is powerful today. Always interesting, but powerful today.
I think I hear the clorox wipes calling.
