Summer
Before I get started let me once again say that I hate Blogger. For some lame reason all my posts went bold. I didn't do that....well, not intentionally at least. And on my posting setting....well, I won't even get started on that one. Anyhow......
Summer is gone, gone, gone now. School started this past Monday. I was happy it started and not . Happy cuz I was bored and it would give me something to do. Not happy cuz its school. For the fall semester I am by far, the oldest. In my psychology class the instructor had us raise our hand if we were married. I was the only one who raised their hand. I was actually happy about that cuz everyone else seemed way too young to be married....and I was right. The majority just graduated from high school a few months ago. It was like watching a high school reunion the first day. I wanted to vomit. Oh the high pitched squeals and screaming......"Oh my gosh, you're in this class? How cool is that? How was your summer? Did you hear about........?" It was nauseating. All the girls talk in "snotty talk". You know with the rolling eyes, flipping hair and they have their own accent or twang or whatever you want to call it. I don't know how to explain it, except at the end of every sentence they draw out the last word with a ssss. I can't type it. Sorry, I know, I know, watch Laguna Beach on MTV and pay attention to how the girls talk....that's what I'm talking about. Snotty Talk. Anyhow, school is gonna be interesting. That's all I'm gonna say about that for now.
We only have three things left to do for our adoption paperwork. Next week we are getting CPR and First Aid certified and that will complete all of our certification crap. We finished the foster care certifications a few weeks ago....Yahoo. Then we have to do out letter to the birth mother.......not looking forward to that. What do you say? Seriously, any tips? And, last we have the home inspection. Then we wait..... I think I'm really good at waiting now. If waiting were a sport, I would get a medal for sure!!!
So here is what summer consisted of for me......not much.
1- Found out that I got A's in my summer classes...gold star for me. I now officially have a 4.0 GPA. That's a first.
2- I cleaned my house so it shines now....but not for long, I'm just an okay housekeeper....nothing to get excited over.
3- I felt sorry for myself on the days I had nothing to do. All I could think about was....."if I had kids I would be....." And that's all I'm gonna say about that. And, if anyone comments "yeah, but when you have kids you'll just want the time to yourself"....I won't comment on your blog for a very long time! I know what a bummer...no comment from ME!!
4- Worked...part time. That's why I was bored at times. This was the first time in 13 years that I have ever worked part time, so that was a little wierd. But, I tell you what....working in Urgent Care, I know I don't ever want to work with kids. I hate it. I hate being the bad guy. Being the one to give them shots and all...not fun!
5- Bubba & I went to Monterey for (what I call) the "shi-shi car show". It's one of those that have all the fancy shmancy cars....lamborghinis, ferraris, cobras etc. There's tons more cars, but I don't know what they are. All I know is that they were very expensive and Bubba was like a little kid on Christmas Day. We met Brad's brother, sister, brother in law, his brother's girlfriend there. It was a very good time. We were the token white trash to all of the events the entire weekend.
6- Went to Lake Tahoe. Ahhhhh, love it there. It's only 1 hr. and 15 min. from where we live, so I love it even more.
7- I turned 33!!! I can't believe I'm that old. I got mad at Bubba in the morning and I couldn't shake my pissy mood til later in the afternoon, so it wasn't the best bday ever, but that's my fault. He was cute and got me a dozen roses, an ice cream cake and a very funny Napolean Dynamite card telling me that I get a spa day with my only friend up here. I was shocked he did the cake by himself....my sister, Kelly, usually just does the cake or she has to remind him. But, she was out of town and he did it all by his lonesome. What a good Bubba.
See, just an okay summer. I must say that I am sooo excited for the fall!! The leaves on the trees here are already starting to change color and I am so very excited. I love fall!! I'm ready for the cooler weather. As I type this it is currently 103 degrees outside. Fall anyone?? anyone?
