Random Thursday

A few random things in my life right now...

• One of my young co-workers has followed her heart to move to Wisconsin with her man.  That leaves me only one other young one to hang around with. I am really going to miss giving her "mom" advice and being like a big sis to her.
• I am having lots of anxiety thinking that I am going to have a senior and a freshman.  And my freshman is participating in basketball open gyms---my boss is one of the coaches.  I really want Zach to be coached by him...but hope Zach continues to give basketball his all.
• Went to the grocery store by myself tonight and spent a lot of time in the car contemplating life right now.  Am I where I want to be...you know...did I think I was going to be in this place @ 41. Have I met my personal goals and lofty family ideals?  Hmmm...going to have to think on this one.
• Missing my best girl friend...wishing we still had Tuesdays to get together...loved getting together almost every week with her and being crafty...damn kids! ha.
• Been busy looking for a car for Kate...ahhh the joys of having a teen driver. Good thing I live across the street from work.
• Just came across a awesome sale at one of my favorite clothing stores....3 work shirts, a cami, and 2 pairs of dress pants---$80.00.  WTF...I love a 60% off sale. I'm set for work in the fall.
• 2 days of work left. Glad to be done this year.  Anticipating the stuff I want to get done.  Where to start though?  I'm thinking the stuff I need to do but don't want to.  UGH...time to eat my frogs.
• Am really not liking all my animal hair right now.  What I really need to do is vacuum every day--so not on my fun list. 
• My son has a freaking pig sty of a room...I hate it...clothes everywhere...who knows it they are dirty or clean. I wish there were just one more freak like me living here. 
• Zach's girlfriend of one year broke up with him...I really like her...she was a good girl....here's hoping that he didn't say or do something mean to her.  I really want him to show respect to women even if they trample on his heart.  I think he really liked her and was shocked that she broke up. 
• Kate's new job is going well....she is over the "I don't want to spend all of my summer working"...thank goodness...not going to have a lazy ass living here...most of that attitude was nerves I think...not knowing what to expect or if she was going to do okay. 
• Doug and I are planning a small vacation---weekend one for the middle to end of June.  Want to take the kids to Holiday World.  It will be nice to just get away for a while.  Also going to try to take the train up to Chicago before school starts again.
