Friday Fragments

Well, Irene is not going to hit us directly, but she could sideswipe Charleston with some high impact Tropical Storm force winds and rain...

So, my kids will be spending some extra quality time at home with me tomorrow in case the bridges close.

I am also keeping those farther north up the coast that the hurricane dissipates before making landfall and there is no damage or injuries.

The one good thing is that I won't have to wonder if the bus is going to pick up my children... I've had to drive Robyn to school 2 of the 3 days she went this week because the bus was either more than a 1/2 hr late or, like today, didn't show up at all...

On a better note, Liam got to ride to and from school on the bus today... the only drawback is that he got on the bus before 6:30 this morning, which made his drive over an hour... so far it is working, but we'll have to see what happens...

Erik is counting down the days until his 10 month milestone... and to celebrate that he's learning to run!  Why can't I slow him down?  He's also eating everything in sight, except what he's supposed to gnaw on...  or I guess the phrase is gum on, as he is still my toothless wonder...

Wayne started teaching fall semester this week, sow we're really getting back to routine... exhaustion is the new norm again for all of us...

Well that's it for me for now, the exhaustion is taking its toll... but there are hundreds of other fragments just waiting to be discovered at:
