Life is normal

Good news.  T told my husband that school is now flying by.  He's getting papers finished and is talking about staying for a few extra months so that he can have his high school name on his diploma, rather than the on-line school diploma!!!!  YES!!!!   Last night my husband and I played indoor soccer (7PM) then came home and showered and went up the art show at the place he volunteers for and place I teach.  They had a wonderful band playing outside, with appetizers, and free wine. There is something very therapeutic about being up there.  The atmosphere is just so serene and calming.  Anyway, there wasn't much food or drink left when we got there but it didn't matter.  We had a ball!  Seeing people we don't get to see very much and meeting new people!  I love it up there.  The director of the place is the sister-in-law of a TV star (I'm a big fan of).  The director is very nice and very approachable.  Anyway, she came up to us and said "Wow, you know so many people".  She went on to tell us about some people who were at the function before we arrived that they knew us.  LOL.  When you live in a small town and live in the area for awhile - it is bound to happen.   Tonight we are supposed to go to the home of one of our old friend's house to play cards.  We belonged this card group for years but then it got to the point I just didn't enjoy the company anymore.  I just couldn't relate to them.  Most of them had daughters who were the half-time dancers at the football games and such.  This group is more prestigious than cheerleaders at "our" high school and I just grew tired of all the "girl" gossip.  I couldn't relate to them and found them to be rather boring.  So we made one excuse after another.  I also was struggling with T and didn't feel like sharing it with this group with "perfect" child and parents.  Long story short - we got roped into going.
