Solitude

Today T. attends the Nike Elite Lacrosse Camp at UVA. J. is at camp all day and E. is still in Mississippi. I am taking the day off and staying home alone.............doing whatever I want. The picture above is the state of mind I plan to be in all day.......ha! This picture is of the garden pavilion on the grounds of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. In reality, I have to call an 18 year old boy today and tell him why he can't live with us this year, ugh, and then I have to plan for Tuesday as we have an invited visit to Virginia Military Institute by the lacrosse coach for T............this process is a bit unnerving.....as we have to make a decision by Saturday as to whether or not he goes to St. Anne's or his own public high school next year...not to even mention J.'s school situation.........and the next 2 days are tax free in Virginia for buying school supplies and such..........I don't want to think about school yet........let us have our last 3 weeks of summer please....school free.....and then I still haven't gotten much yard work done that I wanted to this summer........I was hoping for T.'s help, but with lacrosse and now football starting, he isn't much help. ALSO, his girlfriend and friends all leave this next week for college......he is going to be SUCH a joy to live with......but for today, I am going to be peaceful......I'll let you know how it goes.
