Keep 'em going!

Maysen ended Session 1 of swimming this summer and starts his second session of swimming lessons tomorrow. When he first started, any feat he conquered was made known by the “thumbs up”. He LOVES lessons and although he plays the rebel by not wanting to stay on the steps (even being made to get out of the pool – how humiliating!), he does really really well. This coming week is the first week of the new time and he’ll go M/W afternoons now.

That’s good because I have enrolled him into karate, which are on Thursday evenings so that pretty much has him doing something every day of the week except Tues/Fri. Those can be recoup days. I know, I know … he’s only 3. But you don’t understand this kid. He is soooo wound up that he goes BONKERS inside the house. It’s been rather warm so not a lot of kids to play with outside and if I let him in the back, he destroys things when he’s alone. He doesn’t mean to, but “I think I’ll get out the hose and chase the dog …. Which means she’ll blow through all mom’s flower beds and rip up the grass” … or “think I’ll play train with the hose and drive it along mom’s trenches which happen to be filled with flowers …. Well, were”. Things like that. Bushes knocked down, missing fence boards. *sigh*. We even just recently bought a Wii. I don’t know who likes it more, me or him. The games are so fun, and very addicting. Boxing rocks my arms, girls! So … try it. Your husband will love you for it, and you can shape those arms while he’s gone. I’m also hoping karate will be a success.

Remember my bummer of a post about my dad and Jo leaving California and moving to Kentucky. In a weird twist of events, they are no longer there, and are taking a few weeks off for a needed vacation and are heading their way (slowly) back here for some visiting. They are working toward getting their old jobs back down in California, but that could be a few weeks out, so they’re taking this time to see family and just relax while driving their big beast back up here. It’s a brand new 5th wheel that unfortunately there have been a few mild set backs to them just busting out of KY, but hopefully it’ll be fixed tomorrow and they can start heading our way.

I hope I hear from the realtor tomorrow! Not getting my hopes up, but we had a real prospective buyer so I’m hoping we hear something this week (tomorrow would be great!).

So, I need to get my tires rotated. You’d think that would be simple. Well, not only is the task complicated by having 2 children aboard staring at you like ‘ahhhh c’mon mom! Lets go!!” I find out as I’m made my best attempt to take care of this problem that “they” can’t do it for me, because apparently my van is equipped with sensors on my tires that notify me if my airpressure is low in one of them. Therefore, that requires me to go somewhere else who has a sensor re-calibrator for post-rotation. HUH?! This is too damn complicated …

Longwinded, no point post as always … and it’s 130am. Gee…. oh, and PS; Fin is 7mo old today. Updated baby blog complete.
