On Tuesday I had an 8:00 meeting at work and was away from my office for about an hour. When I got back to my desk I noticed my cell phone had 12 missed calls…all from home. I apologized to my poor staff for having to endure my cell phone ringing 12 times and Sarah said she almost answered it because she was starting to worry someone was hurt. When I called Jeremy back I said, “Jay is everything okay?” Jeremy responded, “Yeah, I was wondering if I can have the Hot Pocket in the freezer for lunch.” WHAT??? He insisted he had only called once about the Hot Pocket and it must have been his sister who called 11 other times before leaving for drama.
It’s official Jeremy is going to Newpoint Academy for school next year and I am very excited about this opportunity for him. We are hoping that it will lead to some new learning experiences for him and it will help him prepare for high school and college. According to their website….”Newpoint provides a unique high school environment which emphasizes high academic achievement through the use of state-of-the-art technology and innovative but proven educational methods. We prepare students to successfully compete in an increasingly competitive post-secondary environment and the global job market.”
Only two weeks of summer left-this has been the fastest summer ever! I can hardly believe we are already shopping for uniforms and backpacks- homework is right around the corner.
All in all it has been a good summer. I’m working on being happy in the here and now, even if I don’t have a plan for a year, or two, or three from now. I have had to say farewell to three great friends this summer so that has been tough. It is amazing how you don’t realize how much space people take in your heart and life until they are gone and that space is a bit empty. Fortunately, life fills in around it quickly and it makes things easier. People make life better…maybe I should be more specific…GOOD people make life better.
