School Days! School Days! I have never been so happy for School Days! Son starts school today and I am SO happy! Not only will it be good for me and for Son but for my pocketbook as well. See, I was paying over $200 weekly for his summer camp. My savings account is depleted and I need to get it built back up. I console my accounts with the fact that Son enjoyed it! School days!

Last week I was on vacation. Yes, again. I get over 20 days per year just for vacation and I have to use it or loose it and I don't like to loose it. September 6th was the start of my 8th year with the company and that means that I now get 24 vacation days. That doesn't include personal/sick days, religious holidays, regular holidays and floating holidays at Christmastime. I think I have more time off than I actually work! The perfect job.

While on vacation, Son and I spent time together in the River and at the beach. We relaxed and argued. We visited with an old friend for the day. I cleaned the house, I mean REALLY cleaned! He got to be Sailor For A Day on the AJ Meerwold.

Dad, Renie and Kathy had a great trip to Tennessee this past week. They drove there to visit Kathy's daughter and her family. They also brought back presents! I think Jaxon got more presents than Jakes and I put together. Pretty Funny.

Note to Self: Don't drop a full wine bottle on your foot. One or the other might break. Fortunately for me, neither broke. My foot is only bruised. And I am planning my revenge on the bottle. I'm going to drink it!

Thank you to everyone who urged me to go singing! I appreciate all your views and I am going to go singing tonight! I am excited. I loved choir in high school and love to sing when I can. I am not saying I am GOOD, its something that I enjoy. I will have to let them know I will be there every other week until Jakes is finished with Therapy. Hopefully that will not interfere.

I just looked around me and I am surrounded by the animals. Kitties on each side and the dog at my feet. When did I get do loved? Do I have food in my pockets or something?

Son set his alarm for 6, which personally I think is too early. This will cut into my "me" time in the morning but we will work this out. I got woke up at 5 with Jaxon barking in his cage. Normally when he needs to go out, he whines and scratches the cage, not barks like someone has invaded the house. He was barking at Jakes whose alarm had just gone off. Guess we have to make suer his clock is set for the correct time as well.

6:42 am - Son asks to start walking to the bus stop. The bus doesn't come until 8 am or so. He's not excited at ALL!

ReplyDeleteHubby has the same deal at work - 'use or lose' vacation days. Usually he's scrambling to take days off before the deadline of June 30th. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck singing tonight - the important thing is that you enjoy yourself!
Ouch!! I'd take revenge on that bottle of wine by drinking it, too - glad there was no breakage on either! ;)

ReplyDeleteLOL love that your gettin revenge on that bottle! that was funny!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when the kids are in school, and us parents can focus on adult things without a day care expense. As for singing - nice!! I played trumpet in high school, and later in life when I was totally missing being part of a group, I took up electric bass and formed a garage band. Way too fun. I even sang a bit.
ReplyDeleteI hope he stays that enthusiastic about school.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you're going to go singing!!!! I can hear in your writing tone how excited you are. Actually, your whole blog has a more upbeat tone lately, so I can tell things are in a good place over there!
ReplyDeleteYay about the singing! :)
