This week has gone by so fast. I’ve been pretty busy with the kids, the animals and just “stuff” in general. Hopefully in the next few days, I’ll be able to kick back for awhile finish some of the projects I’ve started around here. The bathroom needs work and I’d like to paint my office. I have some sewing projects that need finished also.
Back to the Grind
I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day holiday. To a lot of people the day off from work means a chance to sit at the pool or in the sand somewhere. To others it means the Indy 500 race or a full day of fishing. To me, it means I could sleep in an extra hour, take my time getting primped and pampered, and then cook up a storm for our annual cookout at the lake. I always make my famous potato salad and my green and white pasta salad. And this year I made a chilled fruit salad, too.
But today it is back to work. Back to reality. Back to the daily grind. I could use another holiday and wish I didn’t have to wait until July 4th to have one!
Proud mom
I am a very proud mom, my kids all got good grades this school year and we had no major issues at school. What an improvement over last year and I hope it keeps on this track then all three of them might get out of high school and get on with their lives in a timely manner. At times last year it looked like they all three might be living with me for the rest of their lives, this good year has put a bit more hope in my heart of ever having the house to myself. Let us hope that next year is a successful as this year was and my dreams will be one year closer to reality.
Last day
Today is the last full day of school for this school year. I do not know what I will do with 3 kids under foot for all summer. I think I need to find a good cam,p to send them to so I can get some rest too. At least I do not have to get up at 6am to get kids ready for school, maybe for a gift this summer I will get them an alarm clock and teach them to get themselves up and ready for school so I can get a bit of rest each school day.
I love my kids but they are a huge pain in the butt sometimes and I am tired of dealing with all of their issues, they need to grow up and start to solve their own problems. Well on second thought I am the Mom so I will keep on top of all the issues for a while longer.
No school
They have called off school today because it might snow! Not one damn flake has fallen and I am trapped with my kids inside all day. I had to take a sick day at work because on such short notice I could not find anyone to watch the kids. I think the schools should take the parents into their thinking about snow days and keep the kids in the school where they belong during the day. I watch them at night and the school has to watch them during the day, that is our deal and they better stick to it.
Hockey Game
Saturday we are taking my Grandson David to a hockey game he really loves the Predators and has been to several games with us in the past. This will be his first game this year and I know that he is really excited to be going back to a game. He plays hockey at our house, we bought him a cut down stick and some pucks, he has a blast and gets the dogs involved in his game. I love to see him having fun with the dogs and playing hockey it is all very new to him, being an only child he does not have much of any one to play with and it must be very boring to him. But he will have fun Saturday and I can not wait for the game.
