I got home Sunday evening.  It was so good to be home and see the faces of my sweet children.  And my husband.  I missed them all!  Monday morning started early as I woke up around 4:30.  I knew this would happen.  It’s been awhile since I last traveled to Europe, but I didn’t forget about the jet lag that ensues!  Fortunately for me, I woke up feeling a little motivated to get some stuff done.  Consider that “stuff” laundry and unpacking shtuff.  Check!

I’ve downloaded some of my 500+ pictures.  They turned out great!  And when I combine those with the pictures of my mom, aunt, and cousin, we will have a well-rounded album of our trip!

On my agenda this week: grocery shopping (done), visit by the alarm guy Chris, 1 new tutoring client who wants a heavy dose of math (yay!), another tutoring client, coffee with my girls, and training.  That last one is gonna hurt.  Bad.

Monday we have our placement meeting for Emma.  That’s Monday, August 25th.  As in 2 weeks before school starts and one day before Emma’s surgery.  Um, stressful?  Yeah, a bit.  But we’re prepared to win, and so therefore we will.  Will not entertain any other thoughts.

Have I mentioned Emma’s surgery much?  I don’t think so, but I can remember (on account of the jet lag, of course).  Anyway, it’s her hip reconstruction on Tuesday morning first thing.  We’ll be in the hospital 2-3 nights.  The hardest part will be Emma in a wheelchair for 6-8 weeks.  Non-weight bearing.  Ugh.  At least we won’t be missing anything fun outside as it’s a billion degrees with a thousand percent humidity.  Slight exaggeration.

I hear my daughter being ornery with her brother so I’m wrapping this up.  I promise more pictures, but here’s one to tide you over!
