I'm jealous. I want to go to Disney, too! I've never been, and think it's high time I get to go. I mean, I'm only 38, still a kid at heart. I want to see Pluto and Goofy. I want to have my picture taken with Cinderella. I want to view the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom. It's not too much to ask, is it?
Maybe I could leave the kids at home, use free Disney vacation planning services, and get off cheaper than if the whole family went. I mean, I could see taking a vacation by myself. Of course, I would send pictures home so the kids wouldn't feel too left out. I'm not an uncaring mom, really.
Maybe I'd take Mike. But only if he channeled his inner child and promised to NOT act like an adult while we're there. He's never been either. I wonder if he could do that? I wonder if he WOULD do that?
Someday, I suppose we'll go. I've heard wonderful things about Disney. Even as an adult, it never seems to lose its magic. It's not just for kids, ya know......
Who's up for a Disney Vacation?
There's Just Some Things I Cannot Stand
I'm sitting here in my bedroom/office. Tim has come in and decided to watch TV in here because he's bored and Mike won't let him watch what he wants on the living room TV. I say fine. He proceeds to turn on sports. Now, I'm not against sports. Really, I'm not. I'll watch an occasional baseball or football game. But for some reason, if it's on TV and I'm not actually watching it, I can't stand to listen to it.
It sounds like a bunch of noise that makes no sense and it grates on my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard. You know what I'm talking about.
I cringe.
I don't know why.
I'm just weird that way....
Sometimes Life is Like That
Whew! It's been a while, I guess. I don't know where the time goes, but it sure goes fast. Summer is almost over, and I feel as if I've slept through most of it. It all seems a blur. Sad too, because Tristan leaves in the Fall for college....out of state. I really thought I'd spend more time with him this summer, but it hasn't happened yet. You know, the whole "I'm an adult now, and can come and go as I please." I swear, he goes more than he comes. I guess that's normal though, huh?
I just found out that a good friend of mine is going through some marriage difficulties. Funny, because for one, we're good friends and I didn't even have a clue, and two, because they are the perfect couple. You know the kind. They are the ones that make you want to puke when you see them in public hanging all over each other and smooching all the time. I was totally floored, to be honest. Turns out they don't see eye to eye on most subjects. Go figure. I guess some people are just full of surprises. Or just full of it. I'm not sure which. They'll be going for relationship coaching to see if they can find a way to agree. I have to hand it to them. At least they're going to try.
Let's see, what else?
Oh, we had Tristan's graduation party this past weekend. Have to say, the party was great, but the turnout was pitiful. Mike grilled all morning long, and I slaved in the kitchen all morning. We bought enough soda to quench the thirst of an army of teenagers. We set up chairs, tables, and decorations. It was beautiful. And, it was all over by 6pm. Everyone left, and no one else showed up after that. I didn't even need to turn on my strands of lighted decorations. It was very disappointing. On the flip side, Tristan did make out pretty well in the gift/money department from the guests that did show up, so it wasn't all bad. He'll have about $400 more to add to his bank account for college and some much needed necessities for his dorm room. I tell ya, I'm glad this kind of thing doesn't happen every day!
So, that's it for now. I've been busy, busy, busy, but really would like to get back to this whole blogging thing. It's kind of therapeutic, ya know?
