Free at Last

I'm officially on vacation. Turned in my summer session grades on Saturday. I'm SUPPOSED to get paid in the next 10 days, but considering what's going on in Sacto right now with the budget, I'm not holding my breath. I'm just praying I get my regular paycheck.

Tomorrow is Cody's birthday. He'll be 15. He's getting sooooo tall. I swear he is the same height as Dan. My baby boy is as tall as his dad! What's a mother to do??? I still have no idea what he's got planned for his birthday tomorrow as he has chosen not to include me in the planning...if there is planning...if the plans are already made...if he is even considering planning...I think you get the idea.

I also have to figure out when to take Chelsea for her driving test. Her driving has really improved and I almost feel ready to kick her out of the "car nest." I keep thinking to myself, just one more week of practice driving, then we'll get her tested. Chelsea's getting antsy, so I think stalling is not going to be an option for much longer.

My needle biopsy site is almost healed, yeah! I'm lifting and only occasionally get a twinge of pain. Soon it will be an almost forgotten episode in my life...Never.

Speaking of antsy...Dan's got wanderlust BAD. I need to get him out of town and seeing some new sights. We'll be taking a week off mid-July. The kids want nothing to do with it, so Mom will be staying with them while I tend to Dan's need for travel. We still have no idea where we will be going, but I think Dan likes it that way. I don't really care or have an opinion, I'm just glad to be his sidekick. I'm a good sidekick, by the way.
