The boys were pleasantly surprised this morning to learn that school had been canceled. It's been very quiet so far today and I really appreciate that quiet, as it's a pleasant change of pace. In a few minutes, I'll be getting ready to take Maggie to the vet for her shots. While I'm there, I'll talk to the vet about the return of the tumors on he legs. If he wants them removed, we'll set something up for the beginning of November. Aside from that, she's basically in need of her Kennel Cough vaccine, in order to be boarded at the end of the week. We've never been away from her in almost eight years and I'm not sure how this is going to go.

It was a typical Sunday night. Lizze and I had settled in to watch the series finale of Teen Wolf, when I received a message from one of the boys teachers. I typically ignore most of the messages because they're usually nothing that pertains to us directly. For whatever reason I checked it and learned something very interesting. Apparently, the heat index will have the indoor temperature of the school at well over 100°F and therefore, school has been canceled. A few minutes after reading this, the school called and I received a text as well. This will make getting things ready for our trip a bit more complicated but we'll have to work with it. The big thing for today is getting Maggie to the vet, and finishing up…

We are counting down the days until we climb into the rental van and make our way to Florida, in order to watch Gavin's wish come true. It occurred to me that I've talked a lot about the preparatory part of this whole thing, but not about what we're going to do once we're there. Full disclosure. I'm not entirely sure how everything is going to go. I'm assuming that we will be meeting with Wishes Can Happen, prior to leaving. I think that pretty much has to happen. lol Aside from meeting Wishes Can Happen, we have a few other things that will be happening this week, in regards to this trip. On Monday, Maggie goes to the vet. She needs caught up on her vaccines for the year,…

Everyone is relatively quiet today. I'm not sure what's going on but it's really nice to exist in relative quiet sometimes. I can hear myself think and it greatly reduces my immediate stress. No one's complaining and they seem content doing their own thing. Gavin's in his room, Emmett's is his own room, Lizze is sleeping and Elliott is watching Pokémon in the living room. Now that I'm feeling better, I want to scrub the kitchen floor and clean the bathroom. Those are my big goals for today and with any luck, I meet those goals before I call it a night. ☺
