Time to Start Writing Again

Here I am, the last week of summer break before school starts back up, Gregory enters his freshman year of high school and life gets crazy again.
I feel this need to begin writing again. Something has been missing for a long time and I think this might be what it is. The daily venting of my crazy, wonderful life.

I was in bed and sleeping by 10 p.m. so I could get up early tomorrow morning and get some productive things done before it's time to go help Mary weed her gardens at the rental. Now it's nearly 3:00 a.m. and I'm sitting here, wide awake. I could be doing dishes but the guys downstairs sleep right below the kitchen so it's not the best idea to make a bunch of noise this time of night.

I'm feeling all antsy and anxious lately and I don't know why. I wish I did. Maybe I am just too bored and need to be crazy busy again to take this feeling away. I hate it.

I've been having this urge to start dating again and I have no idea where to begin. It isn't a natural process for me, but what I do naturally is push men far away from me that they don't walk, they run far away. Usually it's after they say something super inappropriate though. Maybe I need to change my style. I dunno.

Time for me to go to bed again after another drink of water. I'll see if I can get a little shut eye.

The Last Fun Day of Summer

Our summer has been full of lots of visits with fun people. One of the more enjoyable things has been getting together with Gman's girlfriend's family. I never expected to make friends with such a great family but am so glad we are friends.

The first real time spent was a weekend of camping with just girls and their baby boy, age 3. What a fun time fishing, laughing and just all around relaxing at Louisville State Recreation Area.

The second time Gman went and camped with them the week it was over 100 degrees. I'm a weenie and declined on that one. This body can't take that kind of heat.

The last time was an afternoon and evening at the park swimming to beat the heat then showering and making dinner at one of the shelters. The crowning point of the night was when the (now) 4 year old caught a rather large bull frog when we were fishing. A fun time was had by all.

And so we take our last during the week summer trip on Wednesday. It's my turn to cook and I have the meal all planned out. It should be fun to work on the last part of that summer tan that is already beginning to fade away and spend some quality time with the kiddos. I'm looking forward to it.
