End of Summer

Well I didn't really keep you all posted like I said I would. But then I'm not sure I have that many readers to begin with. So I guess I'm just doing this either because I'm bored or because I enjoy writing. It's probably a little bit of both.
So it's August 9th. Libby had her 10th birthday party and it went really well. She's getting so big. I think I told you all that I took her off her meds for the summer. She's gained all the weight she should have gained before starting the meds thank goodness. So I've decided not to put her back on the meds and she will no longer be in therapy. It was a total waste of time. They were calling her out of class just to ask her how her day was and didn't help her learn any kind of skills. So yeah. That's done. She has done well over the summer. Other then the usual fighting with her brother and the non stop eating anyway. I guess I should be happy that she's eating but it does start to drive you crazy when a kid comes in every ten minutes asking for something else to eat. She looks so much better now though. She grew out of all of her clothes. Madness!
Summer went by fast. I can't believe school starts in a week. I hope it goes by much smoother then it did last year. I was constantly worried about her passing math. I really don't want her to have to be held back. I can't imagine how I would have reacted to that. I nearly cried if I ever failed a class even in college. But then it got to where it was no big deal. LOL But along with school starting that means that fall is almost here. I cannot wait. It has been the hottest driest summer ever. All my plants died and the poor air conditioners have been working non stop. I'll be so happy when I can open a door or a window instead. I much prefer fresh air.
Other then that things are pretty much the same. I have my little craft booth coming up at the end of September. I'm so excited about it. I have a canopy, a table and all my crafty things to sell. So I'm good to go. I'm still making necklaces and bracelets so I'll have a wide variety of stuff. I also have my first crocheted messenger bag and I plan on making more. I have a basket made of popsicle sticks I'm thinking of selling. And I may or may not sell some of my home made "juju" salve for bites, stings and muscle pains. We shall see. But anyway..I've been keeping busy getting ready for that. I hope lots of people come and buy all my stuff.
Well I just thought I'd do a little update. I'm still sane for the most part. Some days I would say no, no I'm not. But I am. I have good days and bad days. I'll be spending most of this year getting Carson prepared for Kindergarten next year. Since he wont be going to preschool I'll do my best to get him ready. So that should keep me pretty busy also. He's so stubborn there is a good chance I'll lose my mind by the end of this year. LOL
