Enjoying the weather

Hard to believe summer is half over. I am ready for the boys to go back to school and am looking forward to having a couple of weeks to myself before I start school and a new job.

The boys have been enjoying the weather this summer with the exception of the few days of rain we had. Of course they are as tan as ever. I have to say my tan is not so bad either. Of course it had to fade so now I am working on it again.

I got to see my best friend Lisa while she was in town. Actually she is still here. I am hoping to see her one more time before she leaves. It will be a whole year before I get to see her again. It sucks that she lives so far away but it is just life.

Back to the craziness~~~~

I got it!!!

I finally got my grant letter for school. It is even better than the last two quarters. I also got my letter stating I was on the Dean's list for Spring Quarter. My goal is to stay on it until I graduate and graduate with honors. That would be awesome.

I got thru JC's party. I wasn't sure I was going to but all is done. I am looking forward to Lisa visiting on Wednesday for two weeks. I am hoping to get to spend lots of time with her while she is here since she will not be coming home for the holidays this year. It totally sucks but I understand. She needs to be with her family in Arkansa. James and Lisa gave her parents tickets to come see them during the holidays so that will help.

I watched a show tonight about a hospital in New York that deals with obesity only. I was amazed to see some of those people. This one guy had this weird thing growing on his leg and the only way to relieve the pressure and for it to go away was to loose weight and he couldn't do it. So in the end he chose to have his leg removed from the knee down to get rid of the growth. Wow......I know I am batteling my own demons right now.....I am trying to eat healthy and exercise as I am having high blood pressure problems. It doesn't help both my parents are on high blood pressure meds. I have got to loose some weight. I will feel better and it should help my bp.

I should try to get some sleep. I think it's going to be a long night for me. I nodded off for about 1/2 hour about 9:30-10:00 so I don't feel tired now. GREAT!!!!!

My baby is turning 11~~~~~!!!!!!!!

My baby is turning 11!! Wow! Where has that time gone. He will be in middle school next school year. I am not sure he is really ready for that. I am looking forward to watching him grow and his interests and friends change. Tomorrow is the big day. He is ready for his party. Looks like the weather is going to hold out for us. Not too hot but not too cold....perfect day of 75!

This summer has sure been trying on my nerves as every summer is. But I do have a job in the fall to look forward to. I cannot wait. I think it will be good for my mental state to be out of this house during the day. It can make a person depressed.

I am off to bed....I gotta get up early to color my hair and cut all the condiments for the burgers.
