Things

I should be writing my syllabus. It's really crunch time now, school starts on Tuesday.

I'll do it next. I promise.

We've been spending a delicious week with my parents in Phoenix. The tumultuous airplane trip to get here has faded from memory and now we're enjoying our time together and warm weather.

I think I might have even gotten sunburned yesterday.

You know you're home when there are butterscotch chips in your mom's fruit salad. Or your kids get a banjo lesson before the sun comes up. And there is nothing like the feeling of the same yellow tupperware measuring cups in my hand that I used as a child.

Oh, and the vegetables! I can always count on getting my proper share of fruits and vegetables when I'm with mom and dad. 

I can't quite believe that I'm at the age when going to mom and dad's is really going to Grandma and Papa's house and I'm responsible for 2 little petunias (dad's nickname). Or that I drink my coffee black.

My gorgeous sister-in-law is 34 weeks pregnant with a little boy. Soon there will be some testosterone to even out the three little girls that currently rule the roost.

Have a lovely weekend, friends.
