Worked from 8:30 until 3:30 with an hour lunch. Left work early to go with sarah over to the soccer field. Lucy's soccer practice is at 4:00 and Bowden's is at 5:00. Sarah is the coach of Bowden's team. While she was coaching I took the other kids down to the playground where we hung out with Marin and her kids until sarah and Bowden came down. I made dinner, broccoli and Tuna Helper before putting the kids to bed. Stayed up until 1:30 working on a paper of Managing Conflict.Rough night with the kids waking up and trying to get into bed with us. Ended up sleeping on the floor next to Jack.

Day off. Sarah was home by 8:30. Worked around the house a lot- laundry, dishes, etc... I picked up the kids from school. Good to have everyone home again. Made a blueberry/peach crisp as part of my plan to become handier in the kitchen this winter. Went for a walk with the kids on the nature trail before dinner.

Sarah and the kids still up in the valley. Cleaned the house, watched football, and made a lot of progress on my school work. Redskins beat the Rams 9-7. I listened to the game while I worked on my paper. Sarah called in the evening to say that she was too tired to drive home so she was going to spend the night up there and leave early enough in the morning to get the kids to school on time

Worked from 8:30 until 5:00 pm. with an hour lunch break. Went to the dump in the morning. After lunch I helped Marin move a couch to her place across town with the camp truck. The couch was surprisingly heavy so I gave Josh White a call and he met me at Marin's place and helped me muscle it inside. Sarah left after lunch to attend a Modugno-Fusano-Modugno family reunion in Simi Valley. I wish I could have attended, but I will be taking a lot of time off in October and I already missed one day of work this week because of jury duty on Tuesday. It was sad. I like getting together with Sarah's family and I would have enjoyed meeting some more of her extended family. At 8:00 I rode my bike over to Josh and Emily's house to play a game of Catan. Emily's brother and sister-in-law were in town for a visit and I had a nice time with them. Emily's brother, Doug. entered the Bobberball tournament, which delighted me to no end. Fell asleep in an empty house. I hate when Sarah and the kids are gone.

Day began with giving baths to Bowden and Lucy. Today was "picture day" at school so they were bathed and dressed in special picture day clothes before heading out to school and preschool respectively. At work by 8:30. Did some maintenance work in the morning, but spent the rest of the day in the office. Soccer practice began today for Bowden and Lucy. Sarah is coaching Bowden's team this year. Did some course work and reading for my Managing Conflict class before bed.
