It's Monday ... HOT, hazy and humid in Pittsburgh and there's a certain ... je ne sais quoi ... in the air.  An unsettled-ness, perhaps describes it. 

My son is busy looking for work.  He needs work to pay for school ...

phsbum is busily working toward her goals.  Before she leaves in September for Ft Jackson, she must obtain her GED.  Like her mother *blushing*, the only subject that gives her grief is MATH, but ... I think she's got the fundamentals.  Physically, she is building her endurance slowly.  M -W-F 's she runs with her recruiters and they  pus   *clears throat*  ...  encourage her to push herself!  She wants to be able to comfortably run 5 miles by the time she leaves.

I think the "unsettled-ness" involves the emotional upheaval on the horizon.  My son deals with it by not being around.  My daughter is definately testing her boundaries, anxious to be released from my hold.  I, of course, am releasing her with one hand and holding on with the other.  My older daughter has been calling everyday ... touching base, staying "in the loop."  It's a peculiar sensation. 

So ... just for fun ...
