We spent four days at the local children's hospital with my oldest son where he got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and we got a crash course in taking care of him. I feel like we've been dealing well with it, but then something happens (like Robin Williams dying) and I realize my emotions are pretty near the surface. <br /><br />Both my kids started school this week, the oldest had to wait until today because the school had to train his teachers in his care in case of emergency. It was good and nerve-wracking and scary to send him off to school on his own. (He had a great day so that was a relief.)<br /><br />Anyway, I hope that your kids have a good start to their school year!Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-50854227197775020392014-08-13T00:17:23.315-04:002014-08-13T00:17:23.315-04:00can't wait to start The Storied Life, just che...can't wait to start The Storied Life, just checked out the audio from my libraryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-34731551545929585212014-08-12T15:57:20.872-04:002014-08-12T15:57:20.872-04:00I'm thinking I should splurge and buy Big Litt...I'm thinking I should splurge and buy Big Little Lies on my kindle for my Australia trip!

We had a pool also, and used it in the mornings after breakfast because the rain would come in the afternoon around 3 pm like clockwork.

The Girl went back to the school's daycare today but classes don't start until Wed for her and Thursday for The Teen.<br /><br />I think the college class this summer paid off because The Teen seems to be focused on college now. I am very happy to see it.

I would like to read that at some point. It's on my wish list. :-) <br /><br />You hit the nail on the head with your comment about the Tradd Street books. I said after the last one I read I wouldn't read anymore in the series because of those two protagonists, and yet, I recently bought the next book in the series. I do love the writing and the "Southernness of it all" as you describe it. <br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Sandy! It's back to work for me today. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday, but that's the only thing slightly out of the ordinary.

We got 3.5 inches of rain in just a couple hours last night so things are a mess here.<br /><br />2 of Vance's high school friends popped into the store yesterday - it turns out one of them has moved here. He had fun going out with them last night and reminiscing and catching up. bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-47385972285822223402014-08-10T11:57:30.432-04:002014-08-10T11:57:30.432-04:00The water must have been 90 degrees in Sanibel a c...The water must have been 90 degrees in Sanibel a couple of weeks ago, too... I was amazed! Didn't think it could get that warm. Still, it's a beach and I'm always happy to be there.<br /><br />I'm near the top of the list for Big Little Lies and can't wait. It will be my intro to Liane Moriarty.<br /><br />A.J. Fikry didn't quite do it for me (although I was still a wreck from the amazing We Are Not Ourselves), but I just finished The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price Purveyor of Superior Funerals and loved it!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
