Monday!

I can't believe it. Summer is over. The beach club is closed. The day was beautiful. I guess there were still a few more jellyfish than usual for this time of year, but overall it was a beautiful beach day.

I think we all had a nice last day at the beach, of course Brian had to cause a bit of scene when we told him we were leaving at 6:30 but we snapped him out of it pretty quickly. The beach had been ridiculously crowded when we arrived, so much so that they had to take our car and park it across the street at someone's house, the cars in the lot were double and triple parked. They brought it back in and it took me ten minutes to find it at the end of the day.

So we left around 7 and went for dinner at Windansea, a restaurant with beautiful views of Sandy Hook bay. We had a great table and some good company, and it was a great end for summer. Tomorrow I plan to introduce E to the daughter of a friend of mine, and then we're supposed to go down to the beach for a 'scavenger hunt' if Megan can pull it off. (well, I won't participate) and then we'll take Wednesday to get ready for the beginning of school.

In other news, I actually got a cleaning lady! Well, team. She starts this week (they start) on Thursday. My house should be clean for the weekend! Ater that, she will come every other week. Most thrilling news, that it is, that it is.

Summer: Day 1

My day:

Headache from two glasses of wine
No milk in the house, artificial creamer is congealed
Cat pukes three times while I drink black coffee with a headache
Megan shows up with small boy from next door before I get to vacuum the pool
Ants invade my rose planter

My accomplishments:

Ran dishwasher
Changed Litterboxes
Watered shrubs outside of fence
Did some laundry
Got rid of headache
Walked and fed dog
ate lunch
Vacuumed pool

And so it begins.

In other news today, Brian invited a new kid over, and the kid came...within a minute, they were riding their bikes up to the shopping center. Now they are at this kid's house, and nobody is home. This will NOT be the way the whole summer goes. Megan is back, and worrying about her volunteer swim lessons. Yesterday, when she went to do it, the guy asked her and the only other girl to write the names of the kids on certificates (they had to ask the kids for their names) and the other girl ditched the chore and jumped in the pool with the kids. Megan was stuck writing certificates for two hours, and nobody helped her. She's afraid she will be stuck with that again today. Oh, and our neighbor drove by and told Megan to tell me that E is on the agenda for the Wednesday meeting! Seems like it may end up happening after all!!! Stay tuned!
