Is it Friday yet?
Technically, yes, since it's 12:37 am. But if I were with my friends in Alaska, it would only be 9:37, and I'd still have plenty of Thursday left to enjoy. I just love that...sometimes she's doing things I've already done at that time. It's just funny to think that way!
Everything went well with Michael this morning. Not only did he get a clear but cautious bill of health from the surgeon, but he also got to spend much of the morning with me. We went to the violin shop to get the bridge fixed. It had snapped earlier this week, and he was pretty upset about it. While we were there, he got to play with a 5 string, and his eyes just lit up. He's been asking for a 5 string for a while, but he hasn't gotten the all clear from his teacher yet. While they were fixing the violin, he and I had brunch, and we spent that time connecting and laughing. A lot. It's a lot of fun to spend one on one time with my kids. I really enjoy it.
Matt's school had a Make Somebody Smile day. If you got caught making somebody smile, you got a treat. Everybody got a ring. Apparently Matt made somebody smile, because he got a Class of 2016 tee shirt. He's pretty proud of it. He really is enjoying the independence of going to the junior high. His tics from the Tourette's have calmed down a bit from his overloads this summer. He's having his 14th birthday party this weekend and really looking forward to it.
I teach French tomorrow afternoon. It's the first time this year I'll have Matt in class. Should be a lot of fun! Emily will be at her first debate tournament of the year this weekend. Darren and I will probably head out to Coming Home. Sounds like a good weekend to me!
Yeah, I call that "mental gymnastics" when I am constantly figuring out what time it is for my family and friends!
It also makes it hard to get online in the evenings when everyone's giving television spoilers (even though I watch like 3 shows...).
