I am unofficially on vacation. I have worked my three days this week and I have next week off. Yipee! It's really nice to think that I get about two weeks away from work. I plan to enjoy every
minute of it.

Our house is going to be tented while we are gone. The termite man came over today to give us the scoop. I have to bag up pretty much all of our food so that we don't get poisoned. He said that our dishes and silverware will be okay and that I really don't even need to wash them before I use them again, which is strange to me. I know they spray a gas, which according to Mr. Termite, leaves no residue, but it seems like you would want to wash the stuff before eating off of it. I wish all of this had been taken care of before we moved in. I guess it isn't that big of a deal. Maybe it will kill all of our spiders. We have so many spiders in this place.

I was at Longs Drug Store getting some batteries and ended up in the school supply isle. It's that time of year. There was this little boy, probably third grade or so, all by himself with his list typed up by his teacher of all the goodies he needs to fill his desk. He has his little basket and his book bag over his shoulder. I stood there for a bit and watched him search for the perfect folder and search up and down the isle for the other essentials. It was very entertaining and I enjoyed it very much. There were kids everywhere I went this afternoon and for some reason they all caught my attention. I miss being a kid.
