I have yet to take my morning shower. Thank God it is a day off from the office.

This morning I drove son to school to help him deliver end of year teacher presents. We gave our family's traditional watermelons. (just how many coffee cups can a teacher really need?) It was pretty cute to see this 10 year old kid hauling a watermelon all the way to his classroom. I hear that it was just as cute to see him haul a different watermelon to his Last Meeting of the school year with his tutor.

Then I drove back to my office to rearrange some cables in the hopes that it would get back online our lab ordering system. It did.

Then I got my hair de-grayed, highlighted, cut summer short, and touched up the eyebrows. (that last one was a new experience for me....not too sure which is better: ungroomed eyebrows, tweezers or wax.)

Then I picked Miss Teen up from her regular high school, came home, ate lunch and promptly fell asleep sitting up on the couch.

Then I packed Miss Teen back up into the van and then went back to son's school to pick him up from school.

Then we went to the office of his tutor so that I could meet with his learning center coordinator to make summer tutoring plans/goals. Since we were 20 minutes early we studied his spelling and vocabulary words in the car.

Then we met up with husband. He forgot that I didn't have to drive to New Orleans and had come to get son from aftercare only to discover that son was not there. We made lemonade out of the situation by going out to eat as an entire family, something we rarely get to do these days. (less money after Katrina, longer lines at restaurants after Katrina, everyone involved in varying activities)

Now, everyone else is in bed for the night and I think I will finally take a nice long soaking bath.

And tomorrow, my tub may get fixed.... the part is ready, if the plumber can fit us into the schedule.
