Move In Day

Ah, move in day for those living just off campus... When else can you see people trying to parallel park their car and trailer in a miraculous 4-5 car-length open spot, yet somehow still ride up and over the flowers of your front garden?

That's okay, the baby next store has to be loving the pounding and slamming doors almost as much as the helicopters (still buzzing by) that kept him from sleeping for more than 15 minutes at a time for the past three days... I feel for his parents at this point. You know, the ones who's car was nearly hit when the trailer tried to get out of our garden...

Yeah! School!

The first day of the school year is tomorrow. Anyone who ever said boys don't have the same problems are girls finding "the right" outfit for the first day never had a son about to start his first day of Middle School.

Oh, the drama.

We may, possibly, have uttered phrases along the lines of, "No, honey, you can't wear that. You will sweat to death and your deodorant can't handle it" and "Yes, that does look awesome, but not for an 80 degree day" and "My god, you are acting like a teenage girl! Get off the floor and go to bed."

On the other hand: School! Glorious, tiring, sleep inducing school!
