Summer Blues

Hard to believe that there is only 5 days of school left until the boys are out for the summer.  Geesh, this school year flew by so quickly.  It's crazy that Christopher will be a 1st grader, and Aidan will be going into middle school.  Wow, they grow up so fast.

This will mark the first summer in 5 years that I will not be responsible for taking care of the boys.  (Well, 5 for Aidan.  Last summer was Christopher's first)  With the divorce unfortunately moving forward, I am trying desperately to find gainful employment.  It means that I can't look after the kids.  The kids will now be spending the summer at the YMCA.

I will forever look back at the past 5 summers with incredible happiness.  Very few parents get to experience what it's like to spend months in a row with their children doing nothing but teaching and bonding.  I know the kids are going to look back someday, and realize just how lucky they had it.   I know I'll be doing it daily, and I'll miss it immensely.

This past weekend Aidan played is last regular season baseball game.  His team won 13-3, and Aidan had a really good game.  2-2 at the plate, and threw out a runner at home from third base.  It was sweet!  The team went 9-2-1 for the year, and got third place.  Not bad, but the tie should never have happened.  Oh well, now they just need to play good ball next weekend in the post season tournament, and try to win the championship!  I can't wait.

I finally took the time to clean up my truck.  Old Blue has been with me now for a little over 13 years.  I know, that's a long time for a vehicle.  I had not been giving him the love and respect he deserves lately, so I made sure to take my time and give him the proper care he deserves.  I washed and wax the truck, and cleaned the interior spotless.   You would be hard pressed to find a better looking 13 year old vehicle.

Check out the 13 year old "mirror"

Yep, that is taken down the side of the truck, and the house in the picture is a reflection in the paint.

Look at that shine!

Spotless!

I love my truck.  Oh, eventually, when I can afford it, I will get a new vehicle.  That being said, I will not be getting rid of Old Blue.  He will just be and extra vehicle.  He is a part of me and the family now.
