It's a beautiful evening here in Knoxville, TN. It's that time of year when you can feel the change in the seasons. Summer is on it's way out and autumn is pushing it's way in. I love summer, with all my heart, and I'm always a little sad to see it go. I also love fall. After all, my birthday is in the fall. I love birthdays too. I would be perfectly content if it would just go Spring, Summer, Fall...Spring, Summer, Fall...and skip winter all together. As I was sitting on the back porch, pretending that I was not getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, I was thinking of how this week so far has brought a little bit of everything. There's some good...there's some bad...and there's some ugly.
Let's start with the good. Good thing #1, pretty weather and beautiful evenings.
Good thing #2. Speed Racer in a fit of "I'm tired of mowing around this," last night, demolished our little weird patio thing we had going on. Now it looks like this....
So that's some progress. I too hate mowing around that thing. Good thing #3. Speed Racer passed his motorcycle course and is now road worthy on this lovely piece of machinery.
I think it's hot. Nuff said.
Good thing #4, and I have no pictures for this one, is I got a part time job! Just call me Nanny McPhee, or yeah, something like that. I will be babysitting/nannying two little ones each morning. I start tomorrow, so as always, I'm a little nervous, but excited all the same.
The Bad.
So it's really not that bad, the bad and the ugly are going to be kind of combined in this section. One "bad" thing is that due to my new job, etc, the blog might be a little crazy here for awhile. I am still totally dedicated to it, and will desperately be trying to write every day, but if I slip...don't blame me. Okay, well you can blame me, but don't point your finger at me. Not a finger!
The Ugly.
I have chronic tonsillitis. I have to have a tonsillectomy. I have to have it two days before my birthday.
Like I said, the bad and the ugly kind of mingle on this blog. And I swear, this is the least gross, but representative of what I have, photo I could find. It's icky.
So, still more good than bad or ugly. I'm not looking forward to my surgery but definitely want to get it over with. I'll keep you posted, and wish me luck on my first day as a nanny.
