Hey guys, I've been a bit out of pocket lately. I've been updating my training to score SAT essays. I did it in the past for the old essay format, but they've changed the essay so I had to recalibrate. I definitely like this format better. I decided I could use the little extra income this year. Our youngest is a senior and there will lots of financial extras that come along with it, so a little extra income will be helpful.

I've also still be dealing with nagging nausea issues related to the kidney stone thing. I think I'm finally through it though -- took a few weeks.

My husband is having two cataract surgeries. Left eye this Thursday and the right in a couple of weeks. I'm glad we are getting it over with before I'm back into school too far. I really only have two weeks left, but they will be busy ones with the surgeries and hauling several choir kids over to another town for two different all-State choir camps. I will be so glad when my youngest finally gets his license; we just couldn't even get a test scheduled until the end of August (and we set that one up three months ago).
