House, school and more

Well it has been a week and a half since school started. Samantha has been doing well as usual. She likes her new teacher and is having fun. She has a set of triplet girls in her class...oh boy.

Timothy hasn't been adjusting as well and will be changing schools. He has been having behavior issues. We will see how he does in the new school next week.

Well also been in the new house for about a week and a half as well. Got the boxes in the kitchen put away and working on the rest. Working on cleaning up the trees ect. for the yard. The grass in the front yard is coming up amazingly quick. I didn't think that I would have to think about how to cut it quite yet.

On a side note...a home is a strange thing. A home has a set of noises and sounds. When you go somewhere else or to someone's house the sounds are different. I remember the noises from the apartment. I can still hear the water going from the neighbors showers. The kids upstairs running around. The radio in the morning from the nextdoor neighbor. The loud fan from the ac unit. But now there are new sounds. The sounds of the ac unit outside from the bedroom. The sounds of the fish tank. The sounds of the kids in their rooms as the move around. It's interesting how the sounds we get use to change. It's like music that we are use to listening to or comfort food. Slowly getting use to the new sounds around here slowly.

You are so right about sounds in a house. Love your description comparing it to music. We have one room that always sounds like someone is walking on the roof. It makes guests nervous. We find comfort in the sound and think of it as a guardian angel.

I didn't know this kind of writing was one of your talents--loved reading this. You're observant.
