Life sure has had its ups and downs this summer. School has been great. I still have a 4.0. We had my stepson for 4 weeks this summer and we all had a good time together. We went camping for the first time. In tents. It was interesting. I was ready to go home after a day in a half but we stuck it out for the long weekend over the 4th of July. I am use to always having stuff to do and the sitting around doing nothing was hard for me. Bubba was a whole other issue with constantly needing watching since we were camping by a pond and I was soo worried he would sneak off and drown. He of course didn't want to play with his toys I brought and decided the coolers were much more fun to get into and play with all the drinks and food I packed. I had bought hamburgers to eat one night and didn't pay attention to the expiration date. Well they expired before we got to eat them so there went money down the drain. We ended up running to a Wal-mart near by and buying more hamburger to have for dinner. I had decided I would bring beer to drink instead of my usual rum and pop. Why I thought I could drink beer and why I thought I would drink as much as I had bought I will never know. So yep I still have beer leftover in the fridge that I probably won't drink. I of course bought too much food and had to throw away a bunch when we got home. I have a hard time gauging how much food 6 people would eat over 3 days. The girls tents zipper decided to break on the second day and by the third day they were ate up with mosquito bites. I am now seriously considering buying a camper. There are some good deals on craigslist. I told my hubby we could use our tax return to buy a camper and pay the yearly fee for a campground. Even a pop up would be better. At least I could use a stove. Maybe I'm just not the camping type. I want to be but maybe I'm not.
We've had some hard times in the last couple of weeks but nothing I want to write about here. Maybe in a couple of weeks when everything has settled down. But keep my family in your thoughts as we go through these hard times. Thanks!
Thats about it for now. I am going to try to write more on here as it is therapeutic for me to write sometimes.
