For the record, I have survived a Houston July and August, and it is not that bad. People made it out to be much worse than it actually was. I guess people need something to complain about and the weather is a good topic. The pool will be closing soon, and I will miss our family weekend excursions to the pool. We have a great time but just like in Minnesota, the Texas pool season is Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. It would be great if we could live in a house with a pool, but maybe someday in the future. It is on my wishlist. :)
The kids have started school. Courtney survived her first week of college, and she has found some new friends. One friend actually has Aspergers/ADHD/dyslexia, so Courtney has a new found understanding of what her brother is going through.
Carly has had a horrible stomach issue that landed her in the ER for dehydration. She was able to get a liter of saline via IV and some nausea medicine, as well as a "GI cocktail" that she had to throw back down her throat or else it would have numbed her tongue. No clue what that stuff was. She missed the third and fourth day of school this week. I hate that she is missing school so early in the year. Hopefully, it will work through her system soon. She was still pallid this morning when she left for school, and she isn't eating much yet.
Corbin's school has been uneventful. It is always uneventful the first week or so, and then the usual problems associated with having autism and adhd kick in. I am always hopeful that things will be different at the start of a new year. I haven't lost hope but I won't be surprised if things take a turn there as well.
Got some new red medium heeled open toed shoes today. What is it about a pair of new red shoes that makes you feel so good, anyway?
