Has it really been three years??!!

Today is the 19th day of summer vacation and I keep waiting for it to feel like summer has begun. We’ve already been to and back from Florida to visit Mary Lee and Mom O with an overnight stop to visit Uncle Lester. We’ve been getting things ready for Jacob’s graduation party on Sunday (7/10). We checked out paper products and food stuffs at both Sam’s and Gordon’s as well as paper products and party supplies. We ordered the cake today from Sam’s and bought party supplies and ordered balloons yesterday from Party City. Need to get all the food bought and arranged, clean the house, and get everything ready. In between all this running around, we’ve been to the Y several times, gone on several walks. gotten hair cuts (got mine cut and colored strawberry blonde yesterday using the gift certificate I bought during the NFHS Orchestra Silent Auction), made numerous phone calls for doctor’s appointments, getting the new last spring but now dead tree replaced, getting the leaking basement fixed, and getting estimates for a new roof.


Jacob took himself to get a haircut on Tuesday and Howard said he was old enough now to pay for his own haircuts. Honestly, I would gladly pay for his haircuts if he wouldn’t get it cut (shaved) so close. His hair being so short makes his face look round and his head look too small for his large body. He has been working a few days a week and playing his computer. That’s basically it. Jacob did go to Josh’s on Wednesday for a few hours to play a game with Josh, Heather, and some of their friends, but he had to be back home by 10:00 p.m. because of the restrictions on his license until he turns 18. Now that he has his license, Jacob doesn’t walk ANYWHERE. At least he walked to work because he had no choice before, but Jacob wouldn’t even consider doing so now. He’s such a lazybutt!
