School Starts This Week

I can't believe that summer is over. It seems that school was just getting out and we had the whole summer ahead of ourselves. Now, 3 short months later, the fun is over and it's time for the kids to head back. In fact, a lot of the schools started this past week already while my wife and daughter start back next Wednesday. For me, that means a return to normalcy, but also means a return to homework, school meetings, projects, and occasionally being overwhelmed with a neverending list of things to do. Hannah will be in the 7th grade, which means a lot more responsibility too, and probably even more involved projects, reports, and activities. Sigh.

On unrelated notes, Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal yesterday at the Beijing Olympics. The man is a machine, it's amazing at what he's accomplished. And, he may not be done, and could potentially have 2 more Olympics left in him? Crazy.

On one more unrelated note, I joined Facebook this past week. Ha. It's supposedly all the rage for adults now, and several of my friends have prompted me to set up an account. Ugh. It's not really my thing, but have to admit, it's been kind of fun at the same time. I'm sure the novelty will wear off pretty soon.
