Highs and Lows

The kids and Brad are finished with school as of today. I was able to attend the awards ceremony for Kilian this morning and am so proud of my A honor roll kid. That was the high.

Then all the kids grouped up in various combinations for pictures, sometimes involving bunny ears with mostly smiles. A few minutes into all the pictures Kilian's little friend *B* started to cry (she's the one that is leaving for Germany tomorrow), and then her mom started crying and then a few other kids did. I am the unstable 41 week pregnant mom, so of course I did too. That was the low. There is just not much you can do to help 7 year olds that don't know if they will ever get to play together again.

In other news: I figure my odds of having a baby today are good since
1) my doctor left town
2) our minivan had to be taken in for major transmission work, so we only have 1 Camry between Brad, me, his mom (with the other three kids)
3) when I called my mom and asked her to pick me up to take me to the school, her car wouldn't start, and
4) it might get stormy this afternoon/evening. I sure hope it happens anyway!
