And it feels like it!
We had such a hot, hot summer, and then a few weeks ago, it suddenly got substantially cooler. So it does feel like fall now. Our pool is desperately hanging onto its heat thanks to sunny days and solar cover, but it won't be long before Wimpy Mommy (that is me) refuses to swim anymore.
Rose likes to dress up in blankets. Kevin says, and the kids agree, that we can never, ever have too many blankets.
We went to Pearl's Fen, a boardwalk, with my parents this weekend. It is charming and it was lovely with so many beautiful wildflowers.
My mom and me and the three younger kids. Older kids were sleeping because they had the day off for Labor Day and sleep is nice.
My father and Rose drank tea together.
I did an at home A1c test and it said 5.7. Can that be right? That is VERY good compared to my last check.
What has changed? I have been taking my meds at a different time, and I have been swimming a lot. Or maybe the test was off. Anyway, I will take it.
So now it really feels like fall, both temperature wise and with school and all that. The three younger kids are doing school and everyone else is a young adult either working or currently job hunting.
I find being the parent of a young adult to be hard because of course so much is outside of my control. Which is reasonable and right, but unlike when the kids were very small, I can't just swoop in and fix any problems they are having.
But God loves them even more than Kevin and I love them, and I need to trust in that.
