Aaaaaaaaand Back To Normality
...Or something like it, anyway.
Well, Erik starts third grade today. Yikes, eh? Personally, I'm hoping that the school system actually starts treating the kids like kids and not like babies, but I don't see that happening. On the other hand, as hard as I am on this school system, I had a bit of a revelation the other day: I was in the "gifted" program all through elementary and middle school (an advanced class for exceptional students), so I suppose most 'normal' elementary/middle schools will seem sorta weak to me. I still say this school system is whacko, though, just maybe not quite as whacko as I once thought.
He's already planning ahead; if anyone asks him what he did over the summer, he's responding with a hearty "I ROCKED." Yeah, that's my little shadow. Speaking of him being a "little Frank" (hell, even HE'S said it a couple times), he accidentally called his Dad "Frank" last night on the phone...christ, I'd have paid money to have seen that fuckhead's face...
Finally got
annathema667's package sent out, late last week, so she should get it soon...I don't want to reveal anything about it until she gets it, so just hang tight.
Oh, and I haven't had any more of those weird pains. Still haven't heard back from the doc about whether or not their tests turned anything up, but with the holiday, I'm not surprised. I figure, in the end, it was nothing, which is damn good.
OK, enough of that...back to what you were doing.
