Dropped friend off at airport yesterday. Evenings feel dull and borings without her to chat & gossip with. Kids had such a blast though. Raul pulled an all nighter with friend’s kids ‘coz they were leaving the next morning. Then of course he promptly went to sleep for the next 5 hours from 6 -11 am (but of course 
)

School starts monday. Can’t believe summer vacation is all done and the kids are back in school next week. Got to meet Raul’s new teacher while Meg took grandpa and got her immunization record certificate from the doc’s office, her id done at the new school and picked up her schedule for the next 2 semesters (slowly accpeting the fact that she is fast growing up and turning extremely independant — as expected I am having mixed emotions….)

Friends leave and family arrives. It’s been a fun month for the kids with vacation, followed by a week with friends followed by a week hanging out with their cousins who are visiting. It is always such fun to watch them spend time and bond with friends and family. Every time we have family visit, we are left wondering why life couldn’t go back to everyone living together under one big roof like it used to be once upon a time…

As one friend leaves another one struggles with issues of her own and it feels pretty crappy to have to watch her deal with the demons from the sideline. I wish there was something more concrete than moral support that I can give her. Sometimes I just wish life could be a whole lot simpler.

Plesantly surprised today to actually have the abstract faces & people from the blogging world coincide with the more real & personal world of facebook. Happened to chance upon pictures of a blog acquaintance through common friends in facebook and that brought a smile to the face.
