Soccer games have taken up a good portion of the month. Son is doing well - he is a large part of our defense, and without him there, we would have been scored upon more than we have been. He's also played goalie when needed, which has been a couple of games and always when we have PK's. Our other goalie, a freshman, is still learning to dive. With only two weeks left of regular season play, I'm starting to get a little nostalgic. Senior night is this week, following our last home game, and I suspect many of us moms will be a little teary.
Tomorrow also marks the end of my officemate's working days. She is retiring. We have been together for almost 13 years, and it will be very different not having her there to be my cohort in crime -- someone to vent to and with, and someone to consume chocolate with me. They plan to replace her, in time, but the replacement will be housed in another office so for the first time in my life, I will be in an office of my own. I sincerely hope they don't move me to a smaller office, but I can see it happening. We did have fun last week, rearranging the office. (Hubby doesn't like to rearrange at home, so I needed to get my fix somewhere!)
I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but I am very thankful to have several very good friends in my life. Without them, I would be lost. I'm sending prayers out for all of you. Be strong, and know that I am here for you - just as you have been for me. Thank you, my friends, for being a big part of my life.
I'm also sending prayers out for my sister-in-law who will have a c-section plus additional surgery on October 1. She's been on bed-rest since early August, and the baby is just now 34 weeks. I pray that all goes well with her surgery and that the baby and she will have no complications.
Goodbye September...fall is near!
