Well, it turns out my car was ready early yesterday so L and I didn't have to walk to the doctor's. And M came home early so he could've given her a ride. Also the rain cleared up early so K was able to make his last tennis camp lesson for the season. I realize I do tend to over-think the situation!
K was at his regular dentist today for a cleaning and got a good report. Then both kids went to get their hair cut. With 2 weeks left before school starts, it's nice to get a few things done. My walk is getting a bit hazardous with all the construction going on around town. They are putting in some 'traffic calming' measures which are bumpers of interlocking stone. Wonder if they'll do more harm than good during rush hour? My good deed of the day was when this lady in her car slowed down to ask some of the construction guys if they knew the way to this facility. They were pointing her in totally the opposite direction, so I thought I'd help her out. It's great to see all the people eating outside on all the restaurant patios. I'll miss the summer.
L is busy painting our pressed wood (MDF) table. Unfortunately I had let them write on the top with indelible markers when they were little just for fun and a few coats of white paint, then a few coats of mustard yellow paint wouldn't cover it. So now we're going to try nutmeg. I didn't want to go too dark. L says 'that's it'...if this doesn't work, she's done. They're asking me how I could have let them write on the table in the first place.
