perseids, ice cream, drive in movies

Here it is August and I haven't even gotten revved up for summer at this point. Typical.

The boys were here for the past few weeks. It is amazing to watch them grow and change, and confusing to try to raise them as a part time parent. Too many households and no consistancy on rules make it stressful for all involved. We did ok with only one or two blow-ups, so I suppose I should consider myself lucky.

The wedding is in a couple of weeks. Steve's daughter swooped in and saved my ass as far as the planning/decorating goes. She has no idea what a relief it is to finally have some help with this. I am not a big party thrower, and it was really weighing heavy on me. Thanks Skye!

Not much news here, other than KC is getting a downtown arena (stupid idea), Missouri booted the incumbant governor in favor of two relatively unknowns (good idea), and I didn't get the job I had my heart set on. Oh well, no rest for the terminally lazy.
