Thanks, Mattie. Hopefully, it will be. Went to watch a football game at the high school where I played with some of my friends from high school. It was good to see so many faces from years gone by. The sad part is, however, that my friends from so many years ago all have grown kids, and are settling into their empty nests. I look at how much time has gone by for me being with the same woman, and wonder if I'll ever be in a fulfilling relationship...EVER.
On another note, D18 just blurted out yesterday: "I think I'll have smarmylawyerboss take me skiing. He said he would last time I was home".
I just flatly stated "Smarmy is a scumbag, and you know why I feel that way".(By the way, as does SHE). I'm NOT keeping quiet to my 18 year old about him. I NEVER bring him up, but never fail to weigh in when she does. I then said, "So you're just going to continue to use him?" She flatly stated "Yep".
I know you're all going to throw stones at me for that one. On a good note, I head to a 3 day hockey tournament with S10 today. At least $600, but you know what? Who cares? I'll push shopping carts in the local supermarket if need be to keep him in hockey.
He won a full scholarship to the program this year, about $3500, because he was so courageous while I was in Iraq. Apparently, he missed me a lot. They give a trophy and a scholarship out each year to one kid who demonstrates courage in the face of adversity, and MY SON got it! Awesome, huh?
