Last week Wheel to Wheel officially announced that they are closing. It has been obvious for awhile, but they didn’t make it officially until last Thursday. Anyway, Denny was laid off today. It was expected, but sad just the same. Mostly because he’s been there for a long time and it was a fantastic shop, full of talent. I don’t know how things went down hill the way they did or who is responsible, and I guess at this point it probably doesn’t matter.

Today was the end of the year celebration at Ethan’s school. All the kids sing and then they honor the graduating 5th graders. It’s cute. And for some weird reason, and it happens every single year, I have a hard time keeping myself from crying. I’m not an emotional person, and it’s not like Ethan is moving on, so I don’t know what my problem is. Like I said, I’m not the emotional type, so it’s pretty out of character for me. I find the whole thing disturbing, lol.

Denny is gone at meetings right now, and I should be cleaning while he is gone. I left here in such a hurry this morning that I didn’t have time to clean up after anyone. Being I didn’t expect Denny home until later in the day I thought I’d have time to get it all presentable before he got home. No such luck… he pulled up in the driveway the same time I did. The kids were excited… and while Shelby yelled, “Yeah Daddy!” I said to myself, “Ooohh not a good sign. He isn’t supposed to be home till 3ish.” And now we know why.

Ok seriously, lots to do… Enjoy your Monday.
