My eyes itch like a mofo. Gunky and funky, I can barely see my computer screen. Allergies right now… I forget every year until they hit me. But I am ok and I deal with it (by bitching and itching). So I’m good. As long as I don’t think about anything else. Haha, but for real.
The week. Another one to cross off the old calendar. Not a whole heck of a lot different then the usual. Made dinner for my mom, Barb, and boys. Caught up with Ryan and his girls for a while. The mr and I looked at a piece of land that was so close but not right, and picked up my first summer farm share! But the overall theme of the week was to finish up assignments, collect and drop off all the littles stuff back to the school because, Hooray for us all!! School ended and now there is no more trying to make sure all the work is done and no more “I do not understand your 4th grade math homework so..” to deal with. Yes, very exiting for not just the littles this year, I think the parents and all the people dealing with home schooling are probably just as excited too. And not only is school out but there were two big endings this year. Alex graduated form 8th grade and is off to high school this fall. (We had a little dinner and ice cream cake party at my house for him.) But the one that really gets me is Anthony. Graduated high school and is off (if people can go off )to college in the fall. That kills me. The first of my nephews and nieces to graduate from high school. I am really proud of him but honestly it makes me want to barf because it makes me feel so old. And probably not as cool as I think I am. (meh, I still am the coolest! HA!)
Today there are a few things. The mr and I have to drop the car off so tomorrow it can get inspected and the oil changed. I need to go grocery shopping and to curb side pick up my library books. And then there is a family BBQ for Anthony, to celebrate his public school achievements. That will be fun and a little jarring. Just the family, but I think it is going to be the biggest gathering of people that I have attended in a long time. Gonna be interesting for us all to be together again….Just glad it’s not at my house. HAHA!
