So I forgot to mention the other day...
We ate lunch at our favorite food cart in O'Bryant Square, with the Luz/Wallace crew, and as we were walking to our car I watched a woman get side slammed by a car! It was crazy! Full force, bike and girl thrown. She jumps up, starts screaming at the driver, hops on her bike and rides off! He's saying "don't leave wait!" And off she goes with her friend speechless.
I've never seen such a thing. Yeesh. On another note.
Lydia went off for day two just now. Twice on the walk she stopped and said she wasn't going. I just kept going and she came along. Luckily! Yesterday went so well. The night before she was really nervous and adamant that she would not be going. But when she woke yesterday she was in a happy mood and hopped right to it. Our walk is through a lovely little stretch of woods. On the way to get her in the afternoon I came across a couple of snakes on the path. Now, I don't mind snakes, but when I am not expecting them, and wearing flip flops, that is NOT okay! A woman told me they like to sun themselves there in the afternoon. So when we were walking back together, I tried to send out vibrations with my feet so they would move before we got to them, but they didn't all get the message, we came across one or two. And the snake holes! Oh those are creepy!
We did make it home, unscathed. I had made a cake for the first official day of school for them both. Lydia frosted it, then we got the hamster cage clean. Ed had a school dinner, so Lydia and I ate together and then ran off to Petsmart to pick up our little Sesame seed. He is a Robo Dwarf Hamster. He's very cute, but VERY fast! We need to handle him a lot in the beginning, but we can't catch him! And he jumps too! If he hits the ground we will have a problem. Ayla has a great fascination with him, I imagine she would try to eat him if given the chance.
Ed leaves today on the senior trip. Off to the beach. He will return Friday afternoon. His days have been extremely busy this week and the work is piling on. But he is still very happy and would not go back.
I sure hope Lydia doesn't throw a mutiny while he is away. My back is killing me and there is just no way I can carry a screaming, thrashing eight year old down that path, dodging snakes!
