Summer vacation is almost over. It seems like it's gone by so fast and in a way it really has. With the move to the new house and trying to get settled, time really has flew by quickly.
The kids are getting geared up to start back to school. School starts here on the 25th. I still haven't quite figured out why they don't start after Labor Day, but then again the schools in SC started this week and last week. When I was a kid, we never went back to school until after Labor Day. It just makes sense. But then again, what is being done in this world lately that makes any sense. Strange things are happening everywhere and with everyone. The stars are aligned crazy or something. Who knows. Who am I to question it?
I remember when I was in school that I hated for summer to end but that I was always relieved somehow when it finally began. I did hear my oldest son the other day tell me that he's really for school to start. I think he's ready to get out and start making new friends and get back into some sports. The little one on the other hand, although he really seems to enjoy school, he wouldn't care if it ever started back.
Things here at work are still up in the air. Little red flags keep popping up everywhere making me and others believe that the end of this company (location) is coming in the near future. I think I probably have about another year here with this company before i'll have to start looking for something else. That is going to be scary to me, but also, it will be challenging.
My husband needs to have some surgery on his arm, they need to go in and scrape out some scar tissue on one of his muscles and do some repair work. It means two months of no use of his arm which is a bad thing for us because he's self employed. We are trying hard to get the bills caught up and consolidated so that I can handle paying all the bills out of my pay when he finally has the surgery. He says that he will still work and that his helper won't let him down, but I have heard all that before from his helper and I can't rely on that. We shall just have to wait and see what happens.
No vacation for us this summer. That really sucks. We haven't been camping or fishing at all. At least we have been able to go swimming. The kids haven't minded too much that we haven't gone anywhere since they have the pool. Thank goodness for small favors.
My mother in law is still not settling well in the new home. I know it's very hard on her, but I wish she could at least feel comfortable there. Anyone have any advice?
Okies, back to work I go......yipeeeeee
