   My only tie dye tip is that outside is the way to go.
   I’m soaking up the last bit of summer, going to baby showers, and picking sunflowers.
   Filing away ideas that come fast and furious today, knowing that the gray of winter will leave me staring at a blank canvas.
   Enjoy your massage my dear! Eight days go quickly.

   I am getting caught in the rain, harvesting sunflower heads, taking photos of my veg patch, wishing I blogged more, needing to wash my hair, wearing blue shorts.

   I am looking at the photos I took y’day of my two girls: looking at a 10-yr old who should look 10 and not 17; looking at an almost-6-yr old who is overjoyed to start Kindergarten in 11 days. Trying not to be overwhelmed with the richness of it all — little girls growing up, my babies no longer being babies. Trying not to feel a little bit empty at the end of this phase — this being a mom to a little one. Knowing that I will have no more babies. Terrified of “the talk” — the puberty one — that I will be having with The Princess this week. Terrified of sobbing like an idiot on the first day of school (me sobbing, not The Dictator)!

   tie-dye: I did it inside during the winter holiday, but it probably is an activity to do outside. Apart from that – it was exactly what I imagined Easy-peasy!

   Borrowing my husband’s computer to read your last several posts…My computer can’t read it in it’s new format, making peach pies and tomato sauce, getting ready to send my 6 year old to Kindergarten and my twins to preschool, planning and recruiting volunteers for the preschool’s back to school fun fest, trying to write in my notebook every day, treasuring my last few days with all my kids home, and little, they are growing up so fast!

    Packing for a quick business trip to Montreal.

    Looking through photographs as I plan a big scrapbook project.

    Enjoying all your pictures and words…

    I invited my friend’s college age son for dinner because she is in Spain and he doesn’t cook much. I helped the man I’m taking care of this weekend use a trash pincher on our walk. He picked up an empty snuff container and walked emptied it in the trash.

    Everything would be fine except that an animal must have died in the woods in the back of my house and a dreadful smell keeps wafting in the windows.

    Jennifer sent me.

    Packing for Santa Cruz, looking for the giant magnifying glass that we’ll need once we get there; starting a very very cool project (to be announced soon) with one my favorite girls in the world; waiting for some toys to arrive in the mail (for me: a polaroid and a holga!); looking at our gopher-ridden, holey, burnt excuse for a rectangular lawn outside my studio, then looking back at D, imploringly, wondering whether he’d mind putting up raised beds for the fall

    I am already back at school! This year I am in a new school district and in brand-new position that is being piloted in the most diverse, low-income school in our state. This job involves a 10 month contract so I am sad to go back earlier than usual. I am already very stressed by my morning routine of getting my three kids dropped off at a daycare center and a home daycare. Stress stinks this early in the year. I am homesick for my old school/students and childhood summers that once lasted until after labor day. Man is it HOT in the Midwest.
