diving for sand!

Look at this sand diver! Now I call that being immersed in your environment! Leave it to my child to try to wear all of the sand on this beach! Don't you wish you were able to abandon your inhibitions and live fully in the sand? I'll settle for just a little of that, thanks. We have been enjoying our little beach area again ~ even telling a select few friends about it! It's nice because this spot helps bring the balance back into the picture. The sound of the waves alone are enought to keep you going for weeks. I have to settle some days for the cd I keep in the player near my bed... very soothing to hear the crash of the ocean as you sleep.

honeycomb your hair...

honeycomb your hair...
and it sure seems like I have just fell off the face of the earth... not so. Life seems to speed up at times. So, when the busy get busier, they only handle the big chunks and leave the little piles of sand for later. Speaking of sand, more pictures to follow in the next day or so... of our favorite beach of course. And yes, I got a little burned again...

In all of this, my brain has been working feverishly to determine what I am really about... Wow! that sounds so ... prophetic.. NOT... it's just that we are at the time to determine where to send N. for 7th grade... I know.. he has not started 6th yet... details, details....Ha! The real dilemna is will he get what he needs at a smaller school or will I have to sell out to the name brand school just to stay with the pack or do we need to be with the pack??? all of his friends are there... not on purpose...yet, this kid seems to adapt to any environment easily. so... what is the hangup??? Well, I haven't found that answer yet... because everytime I try to look in other directions, I get steered back to this name brand choice or choices... and it bugs me that I am so vain to consider that as a viable answer when it goes against my ethics for him to be the middle income --low income kid in that pressure cooker of gotta haves. I haven't quite got a solid handle on what would be the 'best' for him.... other than what we can afford...
see, brain overload... it will get better. In the meantime, gotta learn to pick up after myself since I feel like a walking mess ball...kinda like a ping pong ball with stuff on it..
