I'm Not Ready to go back to Work Tomorrow

Although pre-school starts the Tuesday after Labor Day, we have to go in a couple days this week for teacher workdays on Monday & Tuesday and Wednesday is "meet the teacher." I'm not ready to go back to work. It's too hot out!!! I should be at the beach or lounging by the pool!

Chris has to go to New York in September for a trade show and is taking Kendall with him. They fly in on a Monday and plan to spend the day in the city. Not sure yet what she wants to do; knowing KJ, she'll want to do it ALL -- Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Museum of Natural History (especially since she saw "Night at the Museum" w/ Ben Stiller). She'll spend Tuesday w/ her Grandma JoJo while Chris is at the show and they fly home Wednesday afternoon. It's a quick trip but she hasn't been to NYC since Christmas '04. Billy Joel's book, "New York State of Mind" is one of her favorites. It came with a CD and she plays the song all the time when we're cuddling in my bed.

"One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years” -- Thomas Wolfe quotes (American short story writer and novelist, 1900-1938)



Got some rain here yesterday. It was a decent, steady rain. Yay!! My plants and flowers out front may live another week!
