Vacation from the vacation??

This week is again busy because my brother, SIL and niece are visiting from Louisiana for the whole week. We are getting together at some one's house each and every day. Tuks bedtime is WAY off, but she seems to be surviving. She actually slept until 11:00am this morning, whereas her usual daytime wake is 6:30 - 7:00 am. Tomorrow marks the beginning class of her official gymnastics class without me in attendance. I can't wait to see how she does. I will be watching through a glass window.

My basement is all clean and now I am on to my garage. I think with all this cleaning I will be having a garage sale in late summer...That is if I am not coaching cross country running. I am seriously contemplating giving it up this year, and am waiting word from another possible assistant if she wants to step in and do it this year.

I also have good news on the adoption front, I received word that Marie will allow me to leave Ve in Haiti until Mim's process is completed. She was actually real glad that I was thinking of the girls well-being in asking this of her. I am so relieved in knowing Mim and Ve will come home together. Naturally it will be a little tougher on me in the transition, but I think easier on them. Tuks will struggle no matter what in sharing me, but I really know she loves playing with other kids so much that in a short time she will realize that sisters are great playmates.

Lastly, I acquired, or I should say sMurph acquired two new cat buddies. They came from my sister's farm just like sMurph. I would guess they are about 6 - 7 weeks old, and one (black & white female) is doing great, the other (gray & white male) could go either way for survival. He is tiny!! I think, but not completely sure yet, that I will name the female Beatrice and the male Hubble.

Anyway, besides still fighting city hall, making calls to many meeting members, attending meetings etc., it seems my summer is slipping away quickly, and yet not so relaxing either. My sleeping is in the toilet...as the saying goes. I can be dead tired, but still not able to fall asleep. I am not sure what is up with that, but I will admit I am getting frustrated with the insomnia.

I need another vacation from the summer vacation....Yah, I know I'm just too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!
