U Gotta Be Kiddin Me

We will get a chance to go swimming because this year I didn't get to wear my new swimwear very much. So its kind of depressing knowing I wasted this whole summer not doing what we usually do. My Son got his share of swimming though, as he went up to the Dells with his Father. Its a good time for them to get to do that. I am glad that my Son gets that special time with him. It wasn't always like that. For the first couple of years it was touch and go with his Dad. He didn't want to spend any quality time with him while he was in diapers. Boy once he was potty trained, he started taking him more. Now, I don't want him to go cause I know someday....he might not want to come home. But that won't happen. So now, I am making dinner which its something I haven't had in a long time. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Need to find a vegetable though. Maybe I will find some corn, as it seems to go with everything.

Well, I did get a phone call last night from my Ex Mother In Law about my Son's other Grandma who was in ICU and on life support. She isn't expected to make it the week, but we all know that things happen in mysterious ways. I was thinking of heading up there but not sure right now. As I thought before my Ex Sister in law didn't want a whole lot of people up there because my Son's Grandpa isn't doing so well. I told her that maybe she needs to take him back home with her and see about finding some Outer Banks rentals for him. Because he is getting up there in age and of course Mother Nature doesn't make our lives any easier once were older. Well, we only can make our lives what we can and deal with whatever is given to us. Its life...right?

I now sit here bored out of my mind. But then again, its good me. My Son is having his last year as a elementary student. I am so excited for him as I remember it being so much fun being at the top of the school. My body is in denial over the summer almost being done. Come next weekend its officially over for me. Once the Milan Indian Summer Festival comes and goes. Its like the end. Next weekend is also the Lil' Miss Festival and my Niece and Boyfriends daughter are in it this year. This is my Niece's third time. And I can only hope she wins but if she doesn't. She still is a true beauty. Her attitude and calmness around people are such a joy. I will be taking lots of pictures too. I have a better camera this year and vow to take ALOT more pics.
