The girls headed to the first day of summer camp at their preschool. Apparently they were 30 minutes late as it starts at 8:30 vs 9:00 like school did. And they get out at 12:30 instead of 12. That makes for a very nice, long morning working, especially since Scott is off all week and can take them since this was supposed to be the family beach trip.
So today has been work, pick up kids from school and have lunch at Taco Bell and then back to work. MIL and FIL had to pick up Skyler from school since SIL had to work today so all 3 girls went home with them for the afternoon. So really, this has been a quiet day around here.
Scott has been in the yard all day. He put down paver things in the back yard that leads from the back porch to the pool deck. They look really nice. With the week off and quiet mornings, he should have the deck done this week, barring any rain or other hurdles.
I’ve been in a funky place in my mind. Reading some blogs and stories about cancer patients and other hard times. Looked through a bunch of old pictures of the girls. Even some all the way back to our cruise in 2000. I was so young and that was only 7 years ago. I’m not sure if I can verbalize how I feel except to say I’m so ready to live life now and not look back, not look forward, not look at other people’s life, just live my own and enjoy it.
One other note…my manager tells me I’ve exceeded his expectations and he’s planning to work with his boss and my contracting company to get a bill rate increase…woohoo! What’s weird is Scott JUST asked me when I was due for a raise THIS MORNING. Ironic, I say.
