I swear I’ll come on here type out a long drawn out entry then forget to post it and come back 5-7 days later and just post it private. I do this over and over and over again.
Life, has been life. Pulling some pretty strong punches lately.
The school year is winding down for the kid this week. He’s got 3 half days left of the school year. It’s really hitting me harder and harder. 12 months from now we’ll be at the finish line. I remember my senior year and now my kid is approaching it at rapid pace.
I worry about him. Like I imagine a lot of parents do about their child. I just the other day went into his room while he was at work to pickup some trash..only to find way more trash then should be in there along with the dirty dishes etc. I spent a good hour in there just picking up trash.
So today he wasn’t allowed anywhere in his car and was to work on the room. We worked for 2 hours and it’s about 45% done. Just a lot to clean up. But it was getting rid of a lot of things I saw him struggling with certain things to get rid of like certain books he read a lot when he was young. I might pull those out of the pile and keep them in a tote for him in the basement. Maybe. But it’s probably good he gets rid of the childhood stuff now. The room is a dusty mess that needs taken care of too.
I just have a lot on my plate and seem to check one thing off and 5 more take its place. So I’ve been struggling there too. And it’s hard for me to tell him how to keep his room clean when I can’t seem to get my stuff together either.
This last Saturday was D&D and son had to work at 2 but after that time frame I sat in the front of the computer for a good 6 hours and I don’t feel like I got anything done. We leave for my Mom’s in about 26 days which AGGHG I’m not even a little bit prepared for. It’s not like I need a whole lot and all my toiletries are packed and prepared already I made sure at the end of the last trip I cleaned and restocked it all so I could just grab it and not have to put mental energy in on that end. So there’s that. I kind of wish we had a little bit more time there to visit but with appointments and sons work it’s just not feasible.
I think my next thing to get ready for is Senior pictures. That’s coming up in 15 days. So the one thing I wanted to order for it will probably be too late to get it. We will probably have to go this week maybe Friday to find jeans, new shoes possibly one more nicer top and then call it a day. I’d like to possibly get a photographer for local stuff around town too but I dunno. The son could care less about that stuff so it’s mostly for me. But I need a plan now.
I think the rest of the summer will be towards getting things off the to do list maybe.
I had really had grand plans of traveling with my son the summer before Senior year but I dont’ see that happening. I never planned anything. It might have to be an after senior graduation thing. He really wanted to go on a cruise but I’d really rather not. Which reminds me I need to set up passport application stuff too and do that this summer. UGH!
Anyways. Life presses on like usual.
