It’s Just Me

So much has happened in the last few days. My Mom leaves tomorrow to go to my sisters for two weeks. My youngest niece is graduating high school. She’ll go on to attend the school of her choice with a full scholarship. I need to get her a dang card in the mail. Also our longest friends ever are having a graduation for their son. It’s mind blowing to us that he’s old enough to graduate.  She got pregnant with him shortly after we got married.

The last day of school totally sucked for my daughter and put our minds at ease that we are doing the right thing with the home school next year. They couldn’t have proved it more the last day when she called me at 12:30 to tell me the kids were all going home. They weren’t supposed to be out until 1:10pm. So there sat my child waiting for me after everyone had already gone home. They didn’t even give them time to get their yearbooks signed. Complete bullshit.

We’ve also got a new “family” member. My husband’s long time employee and my favorite was having issues at home and he will be staying with us for a while. I’m sure it won’t be long because the cost of gas will kill him since we live two towns away from work and three towns away form his second job. Both kids love him to death and my son wants to adopt him so he can have a big brother.  Last night my husband and my son were fighting over who got to hang with him first. We went to bed around 1am and we left the boys and my daughter playing guitar hero late into the night. My son was in heaven. I’ve got to think of a nickname for him so it’ll be easier to talk about him.

This is the same kid who painted Spiderman on my son’s wall and the same kid who drove two towns over at 9pm to help my daughter with her math homework. I love this kid as if he was family and technically he is young enough he could be my son. Now I just need to get my son’s room emptied out some so he has some more room. Maybe he and I can do that sometime this week.

Anyway, we’re going to BBQ tonight so I need to get some stuff ready for when the guys come home from work.
