I did something this weekend that I haven't done in a very long time. I went out to see a movie with friends and then sat around on the deck, relaxing and talking until the wee hours. We had a couple drinks and good munchies. I'd forgotten how much fun it can be to have a girls night out. We should do it more often! Even though Son was tried to tell me I don't have any friends... silly kid!
The soccer season is off to a busy start. We've had four games and our record is now 2-1-1. This week is our conference tournament and one of our best players is out with a concussion. I hope the team can pull together and play well without him. We have a better team than anybody thought it would be, I think. And I'm very proud to say Son was listed in the local paper as one of the top returning defensive players for our conference! He loves what he does out there.
Daughter has had some down-time, with one last race planned for September 15th. Hopefully that will be a good day!
Mom and dad are doing pretty good. Mom is still only taking a few meds and that seems to be working for her. Dad seems still depressed and disoriented at times. My brother is off work (again) - he had fluid drained off his knee and is awaiting results of an MRI. I'm really concerned that his work might fire him this time. It's not a good situation.
Work has been crazy busy, partly because school just started and partly because I've been leaving early for soccer games. There has not been a final resolution to whether or not they will replace my office mate, so I'm in limbo waiting to hear about that. It just adds to the stress.
Sending prayers out to some good friends going through difficult times. I heard that one friend received relatively good news and I am thankful for that, but I haven't talked to her yet. Another friend did get good news and is very relieved, as am I. And at this time, I'm praying another friend and her family have a safe trip to see her son graduate from boot camp. Thinking of you all!
