I MISS SCOTT!!!

August 18:  I miss Scotty so much!  I have missed him since day one.  But now, it seems even more intense.  I guess this is what the third year has to offer.  The longer he has been gone the greater my need to see him, talk to him.  And I can't.  Oh, I don't cry everyday, now.  That is unless I am given the tiniest of reasons.  But this ache in the pit of my stomach is sometimes almost unbearable.  I am tired of the ache. I think part of the reason I feel all these things, right now, is all the back to school stuff.  It makes me think of happier times, with all my sons, when we were shopping for supplies, clothes, shoes, etc.  So, I am nostalgic, anyway.   Maybe this intense feeling will pass. We got the DNA news.  Adam is NOT the father!  There was a 0% probability.  We were 99.9% sure, anyway, due to a medical condition.  But, you just never know.... We are so relieved.  He is just not ready to be a father.  I sure hope he learned a lesson from this scare!  The weather here has been BLAH!!!  Rain, rain, and more rain!  The temperature has been like fall.  I really would like to enjoy my pool a little bit more.  This kind of weather is unusual for mid-August.  Usually we are in the mid-ninties. I have been going to meetings all week, getting ready to go back to work.  I will go to another on Friday, have a three day weekend, and return to the real deal, with the students, on August 25th.  I really am not ready but feel very lucky to have a job. Craig is going back to his old work schedule, starting Monday.  Five eight hour days vs four ten hour days.  We are glad!  The four days was great as far as having three days off in a row.  But, there was no time for anything during those four days.  He had about three hours from getting home until bedtime.  It will be a bit more normal, now. Just heard severe storms are heading this way....maybe tornadic.  Crazy, crazy, weather!  So, life goes on.....
