This is exactly how I feel right now. I have no idea what to blog about. I don’t feel like doing anything political – I’m sort of saving all that up for a page dedicated to my politics at some point in the near future. So stay tuned for that one! 
I don’t feel like doing the funnies because I’ve done that the last 2 Fridays. My kids haven’t done anything cuter than normal lately. Nothing exciting’s happened to me, other than the garbage disposal getting clogged a few days ago. That was fun. And wet. Nope, boring old me has nothing to say, and no fun way to dress up the normally uninteresting stuff I typically blog about. It must be the dog days of summer, or something like that.
All the mom blogs I read talk about their kids going back to school, but that doesn’t apply to me since I’m a homeschool mom. The college kids are heading back to campus this week. Summer’s nearly gone. I love autumn though, and it’s time for the gardener types to start figuring out which bulbs they want to plant, so they can enjoy next year’s spring blooms of things like daffodils, tulips, and crocus. The smart shopper is figuring out their Christmas list and aiming to get that done. Believe it or not I used to be just such a shopper – I had all my gifts bought and wrapped in September because I hated shopping during the Christmas season so much. Of course, the drawback to that was that return receipts had usually expired by the time Christmas rolled around. *cough* Yeah, when I get you something you’re stuck with it!
Typically I hate summer with it’s heat and humidity, but this year actually has been pretty decent. I can only recall off the top of my head maybe 2 short hot spells this summer. It hasn’t been intolerable, and for that I am profoundly grateful! Apparently, around here has an average of 24 90°+ days in a summer. That’s pretty much a month of 90° days, per 3 month summer. The rest of the summer is over 80° with high humidity. Yes, there are some of you in places like TX and OK who have it worse and I’m not saying you don’t. I’m just saying what a typical summer is like around here, and that I typically hate it. But this summer has been nice. Ahhhhh. So fall is always a welcome relief before the brutality of winter sets in.
That back to school time always bring with it that sense of melancholy – sadness that summer is over and excitement that fall is coming. That’s pretty much how I feel I suppose. I must have gotten conditioned to that as a child, like we all did, except for me school didn’t start until after the 1st week of September and got out the 1st week of June. I don’t exactly feel melancholy though. It’s hard to define. It is a sense of something coming to an end, but I have no idea what that could be. I am excited however. Not jump up and shout excited … more like … quivery. It’s like the air is vibrating with a special sort of hum. I sure hope it’s not tinnitus!
