I spent last night running around doing unceasing battle with the brain-goblins...while storms raged outside.

Apparently I was not the only one, because the dog was having nightmares too.  I ended up letting him sleep at the foot of the bed and he seemed to do much better.

But on the upside, it is the first day of summer vacation.

Adventure Boy got his numerals in Band and Drama, and has a solid "B" average for his last term in his Freshman year.  I think was can safely speculate that he has finished "adjusting" to high school.  He's backing off a little on his schedule next year...not taking any accellerated classes this time.  I think he hopes to bump up his GPA and letter in Band and Drama.

He plans to go to the gym and work out, and continue Kung Fu in lieu of organized sports...which is just fine with me.  Marching Band is an excellent team experience, and actually quite athletic enough.

Grasshopper got an A, three Bs and two Ds.  We will be working the summer homeschool magic on the two "D" subjects.  I think it is a matter of learning proper study techniques, as he is usually quite good in these subjects, and seemed to be working hard at them...but he just wouldn't follow my suggestions for how to study them more efficiently...so I think he wasted a lot of effort.

He seems to be interested in running, so I hope to go running with him a lot this summer.

Rocky set up the weight bench at home, so even on days when he can't make it to the gym, he can get a few lifts in quick at home with me spotting him.  He seems to be leaning toward biking...so I'll probably get a lot of biking in with him.

And of course, I'm still training for the breast cancer 3-day walk.  Linkage in case you havn't contributed to my fund yet, but would like to:

And a big, hearty thank-you to those of you who have ponied up enough cash to bump me past the 1/5 mark!  I've got the best friends in the world!  And even a couple of people I don't know came in from Rocky's blog and contributed!  THANK YOU!

Now, I have to find something house-worky to do or I will fall asleep.
