Here & There

So I was thinking our lives might slow down a little after our hectic summer. Not so much. I sent an e-mail to my boss just today explaining all the time off I'll be needing for school registrations, doctor appointments, and an unscheduled trip to Reno (maybe a move, maybe just a nice weekend.) Our friends the Larsons are going to meet us in Reno for the weekend before Ken's interview on Monday and Tuesday. I am REALLY looking forward to spending time with them. She's one of those people who you can just be yourself around, even if yourself is a little bitchy.

We have a soccer tournament over Labor Day weekend, plus practices 3 times a week. Keeps us hopping. Jake starts school next week, Megan registers next week. School for the younger two start on the 4th. Feel kind of like I missed the whole summer experience. But, the young chicks are taking me for Karaoke again on Friday, so that will be fun. Then on Saturday, Ken and I have dinner with his boss and his wife. They want to give us pointers on the interview process, me more than Ken I am thinking. Hope they don't try to give me fashion advice, I might get nasty. I don't want to be a career killer, but I also have trouble NOT being myself. Should be interesting. I never thought I was that bad, honest but fair. But apparently I can alienate both Ken's family and my own without even trying, so maybe I should be careful with strangers. Maybe.
