First Week Under My Belt!

So I'm glad the first week is over!  By the end - Friday - things were fine and dandy.  I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop in regard to my autistic girl...I haven't seen too many behaviors from her but she also hasn't been in school for a full day.  I'm trying not to notice her quirks so much and just observe her as though I were an outsider looking in...not knowing she's autistic.  I guess she acts like all the other slightly immature kids she's surrounded by but she talks a little too loud sometimes and at one point yesterday she asked to go out in the hall; when I asked why, she said, "I have to fart!"  She didn't seem to care who heard it.  When she did go out into the hall, I'm telling you, she RIPPED one so loud.  It was pretty funny but I would hate for her to do that in a class that's larger than the 6 kids in that particular study hall.  Or when someone is walking by in the hallway.  Ugh!

So, Jim's already out the door this morning.  He had to put in a couple hours at work.  It will be busy, busy, busy, through October according to his bosses - I guess because of all the new students moving in to the apartments - so he may have to put in some overtime for the next couple months.  No complaints here and Jim doesn't mind.  Only thing that sucks for me is that he keeps skating out of helping me clean the house.  Oh well - at least he likes his job. 

Today, after I walk the dogs, clean the house and go to the grocery, my plans are to lay in the sun!  It's supposed to be gorgeous and I just need a day where I'm laying on my ass!  Can't wait...plus I need to get as much sun as I can before I start turning pasty white again.

Oh, meant to mention this:  I've started a new blog...just for my "Recent Reads".  You'll see the link on the right side of this blog.  It's called "Recent Reads by Muir".  I've decided just to update there so if you need to look for a book or care about my reviews, that's where you can go. 

So, lets look at a sweet puppy before we start the day!

Meet Riley!!!  Check out those eyes!

"Run for your life!!!  The big white monster is loose!!!"

"I love to lay out in the sun!"

K - I'm out...gotta walk Sami.  Later
