Well, it looks like July is going to be busy with concerts and concerts and partying. YES! I have been waiting for this month since February. Dylan turns 10 on July 4th, so we are going to a party at a friends house where there will be big fireworks, good food, and fun games. Then the 8th, 9th and 10th, Eric and I will be in Chicago for the Dave Matthews Band Caravan Music Festival. Next up, July 17th and 18th, where our friends band, Cage the Villain, will be playing again. That's always a fantastic time! And the last weekend of the month we'll be "partying at the track". It's sure to be a blast. In between all of this I will be working my rear end off to make some money to help pay for all the festivities. It's not cheap to have a good time when your old. But I'll pay whatever to make my summer better than last year, and last year wasn't too shabby. But this year there will be no drama! Everyone can do what they want, when they want and with who they want. If your not doing anything the last weekend in July come to lot 1-A at the track. That's where we'll be, and all are invited. Cage the Villain will be playing Saturday night and it's FREE! Hope to see you there...
By the way, the new job is going well. The drive isn't too bad and I'm really enjoying working with clients to help them space plan their homes. It feels nice to have someone trust the choices I make when I tell them something isn't going to work like they think it is in their living room. I get some funny clients too. There was an 89 year old woman that came in this week and custom ordered a chair and ottoman. It was 4 grand. She looked at me and said "Well, I've been spending money on other people my whole life, and I won't be around much longer so I guess I better start spending it on myself. Don't want to leave any of it to the state, right?" I felt like I had to hold back the laugh like you do when your 2 year old says a curse word. The people I work with have finally let me in as well and now it's like I've been there for years. We have a good time, and I'm fitting in well. I start my internship class in a couple of weeks, so I know I'll have the job for at least the next 3 months. Hope I can continue to do well.
The kids are good. Baseball is over but football will start soon. And gymnastics is still going well. We had to take a break from guitar lessons because of the busy schedule. But I'm sure we will pick it back up again soon. OMG, I just realized I have to find time to fit in school shopping...it's never ending.

This is my life
So, my son just got a run at his last baseball game and when he got back to the dugout he yells at me "Mom, I need a Gatorade". As I'm getting up from the bleachers to get go purchase him one, his friend ask him "is that your step mom?" Dylan makes a funny face and says, "No, I don't have a step mom....and I never will." He was so serious, and I had to run to the concession stand so he didn't see or hear me laughing. He cracks me up.
Hannah on the other hand, just drives me up the wall. We went shopping for shorts and bathing suits a couple of weeks ago. The first attempt was to the mall and we did not succeed at buying anything. I was not happy. We were standing in the middle of the mall, she's crying and I'm telling her "you have to find something today, you don't have anything that fits. What do you plan to do all summer, just wear your bra and panties?" I think I saw a woman laughing at us, but I didn't care. Hannah really didn't have any shorts or a bathing suit that fit at that time. The next attempt to buy summer clothes, we went to Target and Kohls. This time, the opposite happened. She tried on everything in the store. Not kidding. Wait for it........18 bathing suits later, we found one. We also found 3 pairs of jean shorts and some cotton shorts. Now, most moms might not sit and wait for their 12 year old to try on so much, but I was very patient. And, she's so picky and moody I was just trying to get it all done while she was in a good mood. This...is my life. Plus the husband, job and school. Thank goodness I have friends who like to have a good time.
