Summer Weekends

by Erica

Yesterday I took in Ellie to the vet to get her declawed. I started tearing up when I had to leave her there overnight. Today we picked her up and she is doing just fine. Rylie is next-he is going in next week.

Summer weekends are the best. We woke up late this morning and didn't have to rush to get our day started. The dogs got washed, the lawn was mowed and we had an afternoon bbq with some friends. Jason is out with Steve right now listening to live music at a local restaurant and here I am enjoying the quietness of home.

Jason and I are realizing that our house probably won't sell in the next 3 weeks. We are thinking that we are going to have to back out of our other house which means that the house hunt will have to start again. The normal time for a house to sell in our area is 6-8 months and we were trying to have it sold in 3. There is still a little time left.

The other house is going up so fast. The windows are in and the siding is going up.

It is a very odd feeling knowing that I do not have to prepare lesson plans for next week or go into work. I am so thankful for having a summer off.
