Just an Ordinary Day

So. My sister is getting married in the fall. And my brother is moving to Chattanooga for the next 5 years or so.
Life is changing! Yikes. Exciting, but kind of surreal.
Next year I will be an almost senior.

Learning about Iran from my roommate. (Her mom is Iranian. Or Persian, they say.)

Only two and a half weeks til exams are done. Crazy.
Last week I sent the longest email of my life, I think, to a friend/mentor. Just relaying life in the past 9 months or so. It was really odd to write it all out. I don't think I had done that yet. It was good. Cathartic. (sp?)

Sometimes I wonder if I will be a bad mom. CLEARLY I can't handle the kids in Upstreet. As was evidenced again today. But surely your own are different...surely they listen more. And I think I can count on having less than 17 kids. Fourteen of them being boys. If I were a 4th grade boy, what would go through my mind...Buzzy said to flirt. Little boys listen when they have a crush. Buuut. I'm not good at flirting with boys my own age, much less little guys. And I kind of have an inherent problem with that...
I am really looking forward to dressing up tomorrow. Dress from Selfridge's and shiny black heels. Hopefully the shoes won't pinch since it's just a late afternoon/evening kind of deal. Dinner with the fam! Everyone but Dad. Sad. It's Mere's 24th on Tuesday.

It is late, and Lotte Berk is calling. Along with a shower.
