Summer's Last Weekend

Well, I'm trying to enjoy this long weekend to the fullest.  No more relaxation until Christmas.  Work will get busier and busier until I'm working 6-7 days per week and 10 hours a day.  It's nice to have a long weekend to get prepared for that.

Kevin left early Saturday morning, so the girls and I hung out around here and cleaned house.  My friend and her son came over and wound up spending the night.  We had a few beers, and she is too smart to drive after drinking.  She brought her weiner dog with her, and he and Hawkeye played pretty well together.

Yesterday, we lazed around here, lazed around at Mom's, then lazed around here some more.  I was in bed by 10 last night, but up around 2 worried about Brett.  He was back shortly after 2, but I couldn't go back to sleep until 5!  Today has been lazy again.  Finally made some hot dogs and onion rings for lunch, and the kids helped me clean up afterwards.  Kevin should be home in an hour or so.

Brett has a girlfriend that lives quite a distance from here.  I worry about that, with him being a junior in high school.  I wish he'd find someone that he could actually "go out" with.  He seems to have the idea I'm putting an end to their relationship, but that's not my plan.  That's a bad move, forbidding a kid to see someone.  I just want him to call her at normal times of day (not 2 am) and keep his options open.  And to think, I have 2 girls who will be teens at the same time!  ACK!

I guess I'll go laze around some more.  It's been a good plan so far, why mess it up?

If anybody can handle a house full of teens, it's you.  I'm exhausted just thinking about that.  Russ
