Since I have to be to work at 9am this morning (about an hour and a half from now), my mom has taken the day off to take my son for his first day of the new school year(7th grader). She's also taking tomorrow off so she'll be here when he gets out of school, since today and tomorrow are "half-days", "full days" don't start till Thursday.
Not sure if it was intentionally scheduled, or a fluke, but I'm listed as "off" on the schedule for next Tuesday... the day I turn another year older. The next two days after that, however, I'll probably feel yet another year older... "turn-around" at work... 2pm-11pm next Wednesday, 7am-4pm next Thursday... uggh....
