silence

...The beds are empty. The living room is clean of toys. The halls are quiet of little boys humming the Star Wars theme song.

Back to School, once again.

Rhett didn't want to go to school today. Noah did, only because he was leader. I, honestly, will miss them. We had such a good week last week. But back to normal time is here.

I couldn't go to sleep last night. I think I am worried about my dog, Scout. She has a tumor on her side that the vet is going to take out tomorrow. He was blunt when he said, "She's an old dog. If she were 2 or 3, I might suggest a biopsy. But since she old, I wouldn't spend the money." I can see his point. I also know that he said it probably didn't spread, since it was a movable tumor. I also feel like I couldn't put my sweet dog through all that stuff that supposedly makes you better if you have cancer. So not knowing is best. But I am still sad for her. We have had Scout for 9 years. She is such a good dog. I hope we have her for many more years. And one more thing: She doesn't act old.

I haven't been scrapbooking a lot this past year and I think I finally realized one of the reasons why: I think my blog has become my scrapbook. So I am going to try to (and I say try because I know I won't always get it done) take and post one picture a day. Or post a picture each time I blog. And I am going to stop feeling guilty for not scrapbooking as much as I used to. I still love the process of creating a layout, but now I know I can do it when I want to and not feel like I am so behind all the time.

I hope this week holds great things for each of you!
