One week closer to School . . .

Well, after a few days sick, I am back on my feet, partially. I had a migraine all weekend again and this time I saw my neurologist and got a couple of shots. It has taken a couple of days to come out of that sleepy daze, but I am working on it. Brendan and Michael made it back successfully on Saturday afternoon. Oh, I’m so glad to have them back. Wayne’s Mom Glenda stayed around for a few days and helped out. Boy, was I glad - she even helped the kids to clean the house for me, what a lifesaver.
Afton had a fantastic time at camp and took the ritual ‘rest of the day’ to sleep and recover. She thought I was a dork when we stopped by the neighbors to ask and pick some apricots off his tree. The limbs are so heavy with fruit they are sagging. I, for one, don’t like it when things sag. So, we grabbed some before the birds did.
Watching the Olympics has me want to favorite pastimes - One, Australia and two, swimming. I really miss swimming. For those of you who don’t know, and probably have a hard time believing, I was on the high school swim teams at Kearns High School and Orem High School. I never made it to State on either team, but that’s okay, I made great friends and it was a great experience.
My kids start school on Monday. Afton, being the Junior Higher she is gets to go a day early on Friday. I am nervous for her but excited. She'll have a great time.
