Post-vacation

Our post vacation alarm rang this morning. Groans followed. There were belly aches, bad hair days and stacks of school books waiting for us. Monday was not invited but showed up anyway. It took a few extra cups of tea but we coped. The countdown to summer has begun. Seven and a half weeks remain for our Senior. Nine weeks for everyone else. Ambition and motivation are hiding. I fear we must find them to survive.

Greg grabbed the camera before we headed to dinner last night because the kid's clothes were clean and I put on lipstick for the first time in weeks. We have high standards. Ty refused to participate. We always have at least one unwilling participant.
