This has been the MOST amazing summer...EVER! Between my wedding schedules, our work schedules, totally great cruise vacation to Key West, Belize and Mexico, trips to the beach, sailboat/boat charter and now the purchase of another boat....wow. Older one worked with DH all summer at the office and earned some really decent money for his bank account. I am so proud of him. Younger one spent great time with me and I think I am finally getting out of my wicked SM role (self imposed...I hope).
Younger one is happily doing his pre-assignment of drawing a picture of himself and filling out a worksheet about himself. School starts day after tomorrow and we might go out on the boat again tomorrow. So, wow....was it easy to get him to go ahead and do his 'homework' today and not wait until tomorrow! OMG....maybe it's a break through. Perhaps he has finally grown mature enough to understand timing and responsibilities. He has fought it the whole way, but gosh...he seems so much older and more mature this summer now. Older one has long since been done with his pre-work for the summer including a reading list and memorizing the periodic table of the elements. GEESH...we never had summer work to do. Oh well....We also didn't get out an hour early on Wednesdays. It's all good...
DH remains amazing...I am so blessed to live my life with him.
We took the new boat out yesterday and had 2 blowouts on the trailer. Angels were all around us. The first one blew right at the most amazing long paved circular driveway that allowed us to pull off the road. The 2nd one blew in Brooksville and we pulled into an abandoned gas station to the awning at the gas pumps....as it started to rain. We had already used the spare on the 1st blow out and were just hoping to get to Brooksville to get to a tire shop. The 2nd one blew 1.5 miles from Goodyear that had 5 tires that we needed. We bought the spare, returned to the boat to place the new spare and then limped to Goodyear the 1.5 miles hoping the remaining 2 tires would last, plus the spare. They did and we now have 4 nre tires, plus a new spare. We made it to the Gulf long enough to spend 2hours on the water and got to enjoy our first trip out on this boat. Everyone remained in good spirits while we changed 2 tires, sat in the tire shop, barely went swimming, etc. What a good family I have!!!
I will miss this summer...it's been a good one.
