I'm always surprised when September sneaks up on me. Summer always is so nice, until August 15th hits and then work is crazy for me. I don't seem to be able to get back to normal until December and then I wonder where the summer and the fall went!
I'm back in judo again this fall and still enjoying it. Tried to go a few times this summer to a club in Kamloops just to keep my mind into it. I'm thinking of competing in a few more competitions this year but it makes me nervous. Fighting against an 18 year old is hard - they don't have as much to worry about, like family, or having to go to a job, so getting injured isn't a big deal.
All of my monkeys are in school now. When did that happen? Seems like yesterday that my youngest was a tiny baby and I was sending the first away on the school bus. Now all of them are there. I thought I was going to be sad about the whole thing, but surprisingly, I'm not. I'm actually quite proud of my little baby heading off to school.
The renovations are coming along nicely and we hope to have them done by the end of October. I'm trying to figure out a way to take over the bathroom upstairs and make the kids keep the one downstairs. I'm so loving how it's going to look! They won't appreciate it at all.
