Well, I am back.
Yes, I took a big break, almost an end. Lots going on, boredom, and an unfaithful obsession with Facebook are somewhat to blame. But I find I like to have a weekly reminder of what we do.
But first a summary of what we have been doing.
Bob was headhunted last year changed jobs, promises were not delivered upon, changed back to the old job, and now changes there seem to be sending the company in a new direction along with Bob. Still kind of the same job, and he seems ready for the new opportunities. He continues to do some geeky gaming and it makes him happy.
I just finished my 24th year of teaching and currently trying to write and finish my first novel. I am trying to take off the summer, but things keep coming up. The state dropped Career Ladder and now I will have MUCH less to do at school. I may have to focus on teaching. I have enacted Fabulous Fridays with Veronica and Cash. So far, we have been to Paradise Park and Dairy Queen and the big Park Playground. Our next plan is go to the new water park. I even bought a bathing suit. Old one still fit, but I bought it a husband ago and just decided it was time.
Speaking of husbands, next month Bob and I will have been married 11 years this July. He doesn't know what day that is.
Rachel recently gave up working for her dad as it was just too stressful. And it really was. She did Bob and I a favor and used Amazon points to get us a decent tv. Some shows on the other one had gotten so dark we couldn't see anything.
Drew's return from active duty in Afghanistan last month is truly the BEST news any of us have had in a year. He is now in CO and planning a visit home in the next week or so. This sounds corny, but I honestly felt like I could breathe easier once he returned. I didn't realize I had been literally holding my breath while he was gone.
Mom and I have been spending time together. We walk in the morning with the Senior Citizens. I think Mom is the youngest next to me. And finally a place where I am the youngest! Next month we are going to ROMCON, a conference for readers and writers and it looks like great fun.
Veronica is performing in a musical this week on the History of Rock at summer school. Looking forward to that.
Cash is still attending the Christian daycare. But he has been in some trouble for planning soldier with pretend guns. Also, he put the word on me this week when he called me "Grandma Goldie Alice!". I knew was in trouble then.
Mike and Ryan are in CT. Things are not good for them, but as they are now adults some of this is due to their choices. It is frustrating to us not to be able to make their lives better.
Xena the cat is shedding everywhere and Jack, the incredibly ugly beta, survives.
Getting ready to clean the kitchen, get my small pool ready, and maybe go see a classmate at the Civil War re-enactment. Then I will write on my novel, and make Sunday evening dinner for the family.
Have a great week.
