An Update

Back to school is going full-speed ahead. Chuck went back to work after a month-long vaction in August. Eric started as a Freshman at West Ranch High School on August 17th and Aimee started back to homeschool in 3rd grade on Sept. 4, which means I went back to teaching on Sept. 4 also. The past week has been kind of a blur.

After several weeks of taking Eric to school every morning and picking him up every afternoon, I just have one question. What genius decided it was a great idea to put three public schools on the same block? The high school, junior high school and elementary school are within a block of each other, on the same street. This same street is up a hill with only one way in and out. What should be a five minute drive can take up to half-an-hour. And all these wonderful suburbanites, let's just say that it gets rather cutthroat out there on the mean streets of Valencia. Wow!

Aimee has her first gymnastics meet of the Fall season tomorrow. The meet starts at 8am. So much for sleeping in. She's been working really hard and now's the time to shine. I'm expecting to have a good report to share after the meet. Now I need to get a good night's sleep.
