Well, we survived the first day of school/college drop off. It was a long and slightly harrowing week. First our septic system had a disaster on Monday, the holiday. Which meant sewage pouring into our basement. The younger kid was just getting over some illness where he'd been barfing a lot. We couldn't put any water down the drain. And I hadn't done the laundry yet so there were two piles of clothes that needed to be washed before taking the kid to school (on Tuesday!) and not to mention showers for everyone.
So, with no choice, Master called around and found someone who would empty the septic tank on a holiday (for extra big bucks of course). But it's still plugged so we have to get someone to fix it, it is only usable now for a week or so. That will also be even bigger bucks.
Anyway, we got the laundry and the showers and packed the car. But SOMEONE (kid) left my car door open all night and we had a huge thunderstorm. One side of my car was soaked, but at least it started up.
The college is almost 3 hours away, which isn't bad compared to some of the schools we looked at. It was a long day, but we made it through. I haven't started crying yet, but I did get misty eyed a few times. I just think about all the worse things I've been through, going to college is a GOOD thing.

Hi Ancilla, what a week you had! You didn't need the problems with the septic tank and wet car on top of getting kiddos to college. It's a huge thing...for both parents and kids.

Ugh, Im so sorry. It always seems like those things happen at the worst possible times. No time is a good time but it just seems like its always a holiday weekend if your septic or water goes awry or you need a doctor but will end up in the ER.
