Up from my nap and checking the blogs/FB. We went camping, for one night, with Andrew's Boy Scout troop at Morning Star Lake up near Foresthill. The weather was wonderful...probably in the low 80's, and the lake water was warm. We swam, canoed, and kayaked. Plus had a major campfire at night, including tons of jokes and antics. The best thing, though, was the night sky and the big dipper so low in the northern part. That is one of the worst things about living in the city...no star viewing.
Friday night football is here! MTHS obliterated EGHS this last Friday night. It was an exciting game and a great way to kick off the home opener. The new synthetic field is fantastic!
I'm tired from the weekend and have not started laundry yet. At least it was only one day's worth of clean-up. Plus, we actually did not cook at all. Love it!

Time flies...
I cannot seem to FB and blog at the same time. Blogging requires signing in every day. Besides, I don't have any good pictures to post.
We are going family camping this weekend with Andrew's Boy Scout Troop. Jessica will be staying home, possibly spending the night at a friends. It depends on her homework amount and the time finish of her soccer game. Either way it will be weird to be without her...Although all of you in blogging land know that I was without kids most of the summer, so why is it weird now?
I'm taking Friday off work to do some grocery shopping for the camping trip, plus to catch up on the homework I would have done had I been around this weekend.
Survivor starts tonight...I love the show but don't know if I want to invest so much energy into watching it. We are pros at DVRing and watching when we have time, but then we end up with hours and hours to watch.
The first home football game is Friday night, which is why we are not camping until Saturday. Andrew doesn't play and Jessica doesn't cheer (thank God to both! Those are time commitments and expenses I can do without) but they like to attend to hang out with their friends...so we all go.

Thursday...and the weekend cometh...
So, we had a good time at the last Friday night concert. We'll be back again, I'm sure, next summer. It has turned into tradition for this group. We have tons of fun, and sometimes we continue the party at someone's house.

It's been a while...
I can't believe it's been two weeks since I've blogged. This past week was super busy! I'd forgotten how much time a job actually takes :) Plus, my current class is winding up and there always seems to be a lot of work the last week of any class. Still, it's been interesting so far. I would much rather have an interesting class with a lot of work than a boring class with no work.
The school year started smooth with no major hiccups. Andrew is swamped this term with Honors English 9, Honors Biology, World Geography and French 1. Jessica has only one core class this term, AP World History, plus two electives and ASB.
Rec soccer has begun practicing and Jessica has been driving herself (yes!). Andrew is trying out for the high school JV men's soccer team. I think he finds out this week if he makes it (he should, there are only about 15 boys trying out).
We had a very mild day today. Kind of odd for Sacramento at the end of August to have a day that is only in the low 80's. Not complaining though!
Joe moved some stuff around in his office and then spent the afternoon re-organizing a bunch of stuff. This might be a two weekend project. The garbage and recycle cans are full, good thing they are picked up tomorrow.
These are our good friends Scott, Karena, and Eva at a Friday night concert with us.

Friday night concert at Laguna Town Hall. It was hot!
Jessica and Andrew Friday night at Laguna Town Hall. They lasted one hour and went home bored. What you don't see is dueling texting happening.
These are our good friends Scott and Tricia...
and their kids Justin and Madeline...

Ok, going to check my Facebook page and get lunch stuff ready for school tomorrow.

And early it is...
The first number on the clock this morning was a 4. I hate those kind of mornings. The wind was blowing a blind around in the living room and it woke me up. Now, at 6am, I'm on my second cup of coffee, already done some school work, and am gearing up for some reading.
I never did make it to Staples or to get Andrew's hair cut yesterday. Why is it that when I have less time I get more done? Andrew has an orthodontist appt. today, plus I have to go the grocery store. I guess I could stop at Target for the legal pads I need, it's in the same parking lot as Supercuts (where Andrew gets his haircut).
Friday morning me an Andrew are doing some volunteer work for Project Ride. We missed July since we were both busy. I love that I get to do this with him. Jessica is busy with Link Crew training and Academic Decathlon meetings.
The bell schedule at the high school has changed. It used to be that every Thursday school was out one hour early for staff development. This year school starts 1 1/2 hour later on on Thursdays. Of course the kids are excited, I would be too. Except, Thursdays were good days for local appts. because all the schools had different schedules and ours was the only one out early that day, which meant we didn't have to wait.
It's going to be windy today, only in the high 70's. Quite a bit cooler than normal. Plus, there is a chance for thunderstorms and rain. Love it!!
Our old fridge is leaving us today. We bought a new one two weeks ago when ours died one day. The funny thing is, when we came back from buying the new one, the old one was working again, but we've had problems with it so we decided to still get rid of it. Joe listed it on Craig's List and it sold right away. The lady already gave us a deposit and was waiting for escrow on her house to close before she picked it up. The new one is ok. It's a french door style which is not my favorite, but they are supposed to be super energy efficient.
Ok day, here I come!
