The second day of school was better than the first! The morning bus eventually came, 45 minutes late, but 3/4 of our away-from-homers (including DH to work) were on time today! I am enjoying a fresh bagel and my second cup of coffee.

I am finishing SHADOW COUNTRY by Peter Matthiessen for Midtown Book Group @ Barnes & Noble/GA Tech tomorrow. Also working on Rebel Review/Contest for GIRLS LIKE US this week.

Okay, I lied...or maybe I was just too optimistic: I got nothing done today. Well, except the momx3 back-to-school thing, so there's that.

On the third day back to school, all was relatively calm. The Mom finally relaxed a bit and looked forward to getting something done today...

Illegal Right on Red in Atlanta = $194.40 (the ticket is finally online). I get to go to Traffic Court in two weeks - yay! Any success/horror stories?
[Update Monday, August 17th: Grumpy start Monday, but I'm about to be over it - paid traffic ticket online rather than go to court: My $200 contribution to City of Atlanta.]

TGIF funny: 9yo *really* likes new camo-pattern undies. Discovered he's been wearing same pair 3 days - others in pack of 4 "too boring"
Note to self: pick up another package of Hanes Boys Boxer Briefs M/M with the cool camoflage pattern so the child wears clean unders daily...

#NASCAR - Childcare offered & accepted (duh!) - Hubby & I are going to the Labor Day Weekend Sprint Cup Race at Atlanta Motor Speedway!!! Woo hoo!

Other than that, nothing going on today: cleaning for Paul McCartney (the concert at Piedmont Park, across the street!) - friends coming in.
The world is a-flutter with helicopters all around Piedmont Park. I think they are testing sound over at the *10-story high* stage setup!
It is noisy out here on my zen balcony garden today - trying to meditate, but this is urban living! They are definitely testing sound for concert: loud & clear! ;-)

Friday, August 15th:
It is pouring with thunder & lightning on Paul McCartney concert at Piedmont Park...Sir Paul still singing. "Let it be, let it be..."
