Splash
Posted on | August 20, 2006 | 4 Comments
I’m feeling a lot better today and so is mr. grumpy Bean. A lot of routines to get used to around here right now; a lot of splashing (or mucking) about as the case may be, until things smooth out & we all get used to me working again.

My mom (a retired elementary school teacher) tells me that the first few weeks of school are always the most difficult for everyone, even those not directly involved. Apparently the daily ebb and flow of school life affects entire communities (traffic, shopping patterns, restaurant business, ect…). She also tells me that after everything settles in, she much prefers the structure and routine of the school year to the freedoms of summer.
