Feeling Blissful
Hearing Sonic Youth~Kool Thing
My MIL just took the boy out for the afternoon so I get a little quiet Mommy time!! Yeah!!!
The contractor just left. There was nothing he could do on the closet because the drywall mud is not dry yet! He will be back first thing in the morning. The shower doors will be installed Thursday morning!! I will be able to use my shower this week!!!
After the wedding things slowed up a bit…thankfully! Last week The Prince and I did a lot of things around the house.
Somewhere there is a young girl who is going to be a very happy wife to my son...
I did spend A LOT of time online looking at hotels and driving routes. We are taking a family trip to Montana the 4th of July weekend. The Prince and I are going to Oklahoma the weekend after that and I am going to Atlanta the first weekend in August. We have figured out the Montana trip fairly well. We will be staying in South Dakota one night to see Mount Rushmore and all of that and will be in Montana for the 4th weekend. We haven’t figured out the route home yet. We are thinking about going through Wyoming and Western Nebraska to hit Chimney Rock and a couple other sites. We are still figuring that out. Oklahoma was a bit easier. We are heading out Thursday (My MIL will be coming with us) and will get my business done Friday morning and then we will head to Tahlequah on Friday afternoon and back to Tulsa that evening. My SIL and my nephews are coming in from Texas to stay the night on Saturday and will leave Sunday afternoon. I found a hotel with a waterpark in it for us!! We will leave Monday morning to go to Oklahoma City to see MIL’s niece. It will be a jam packed trip!!
The Prince graduated to another belt in tae kwon do and this brought out a new set of issues. The class times were awful. The classes during the week are all LATE in the evening (6:45 and after) so they wouldn’t be done until after 8:00 if classes started on time. The Prince has focus issues in the evening (ADHD stuff). We thought we were going to have to quit but after talking to the office manager (also our neighbor) he indicated that The Prince could do an individual lesson once a week and then do the Saturday class. I was not sure at first because I wasn’t going to pay anything additional but there is no extra charge. They have an instructor there anyway and since we are not coming to the other weekly classes but we have to pay for them anyway this class would take its place. He started last week and now has a private lesson every Tuesday at 5:00. It is perfect. He gets some one on one attention (desperately needed) during the week and still gets a regular class on Saturday. We will see how it works out for the summer and reevaluate once school starts.
We had some sad news last week. My MIL & FIL’s dog Tupelo had to be put down. There are pretty devastated and my FIL is just lost. His life revolved around that dog. I was so sad for them. I made them a carrot cake…I was kind of at a loss for what to do for them or say to them…when in doubt…BAKE!!
I actually made two of these...Hubby had to have one too!
This weekend we finally got to get in the pool!! We opened the pool in mid-May but the weather has been so squirrely that we have not been able to use it. Saturday it was finally hot enough~92°~and no rain was expected for the afternoon so we were able to get it. I got a little burnt but the boy is already starting to tan!!
He had a great time.
So did Jill.
She is in my lap on a lounge chair under the umbrella. The life of doggeh leisure in the lap of luxury!!
Sunday it wasn’t even 70° and it was overcast but The Prince still wanted to get in the pool. The water was a balmy 77°~BRRRR! He is such a water baby!!
We had some really bad storms come through on Saturday night. A neighboring community had a tornado touch down. I went to see the Sex and the City movie (AWESOME) with my friend Stephanie on Sunday morning and had to drive through the damaged area. It was very surreal to see.
I am all caught up now. I have posted all pictures and told all my stories!! My MIL just brought The Prince home and he is wearing only his crocs and a towel. I don't see his clothes anywhere...I am guessing there is a story here...

I'm so sorry to hear about your In-laws dog passing on. I know I would be devasted if anything happened to Pickles. Sounds like your getting in some road trip time over the summer. We're currently looking for a new vehicle when we finally find "the" one, of course we are going to have to test drive it fairly often (winks)...Great news on your bathroom being completed this week...Hmm wonder what the story with the Prince is...(Hugs)Indigo
