My dad bought a boat last week and has gone out on the water many times since.  We were lucky enough to have some time to go out on Sunday, and we had a really great time!  The boys loved it, and my dad was joyful sharing it with us.  He had a grin on his face the whole time.  I know he has always wanted a boat, so it was nice to see him so happy.  It's amazing how different our beautiful city looks from the water ways.  It could have been a Mediterranean city from the perspective we had!  It was amazing.  San Diego is such a beautiful place to live, and that beauty just continues out into the ocean around us.  We had a great time and the boat is just so cool.  I wasn't afraid of falling out at all, really.  Not even when my dad let my middle son do donuts in the water.  Nope.  Not scared at all.  Yeah, okay, maybe a little bit.

Today, I taught the first workshop of the semester on campus.  I was very nervous because I was doing it on my own this year.  It actually went very well.  For those of you who are interested, it was on Run Ons and Comma Splices.  Interesting, right?  I think I did a pretty good job!  Hopefully, when I teach the one on Thursday, it will go even smoother!  And after that, I will have more free time.  I may even get my Lit homework done early.  I may even put those two dressers from IKEA together!  The possibilities are limitless!  I look forward to blogging more often, one day.  I would like to find some extra time for myself and my family.  Extra time.  What does that even mean???  Spare time.  Like it's just laying around and I can pick it up.  I have my middle son's conference in an hour, and then I have my math class until 6.  Maybe when I get home, I'll find some of that extra time on the floor.  I'll be looking for it.
Peace out,
Mom
