Update again

I guess I can update again.  Not much happening except for the cooler days and beautiful fall colors.  I just love the leaves this time of the year. I know what is coming next though and I hate the thought of winter and cold and bare trees and wind blowing thru your  body.  It just sucks! I just hope our winter is not as bad as last year.  We had a ton of snow and it stayed around until well into April.  Just not used to that.  I think I will pack up and move south if we have another winter like last year.  I just  can’t handle it.

On other news our older son seems to be struggling in Anatomy.  He sent my husband an email saying he studyied for 20 hours for the test and ended up with a D+ on the test.  To say he was bummed doesn’t even touch it.  Now he wants to drop the class and take it over in the summer.

I am like no way just stick with it and see what happens if nothing else it gives you a heads up to what you will need to prepare for next semester.  If you take summer classes too they are so rushed and you don’t get nearly as much time to study.  I will talk to him this weekend and see how things are going.  He wants to come home in a couple of weeks and bring his friend with him.  I told him to do what he wants.  The price of gas is back down again so that is ok and his friend lives half way so they could go to his house on Friday night and then come here on Saturday or whatever.  They are big boys now they will figure it out.  I don’t worry anymore about how he does things.  He is smart and he will figure it out.  Next year he wants to take pre-med classes.  I am worried he is going to get in over his head and then not full fill his life long dream.  Then he will be stuck with alot of student loan debt.  Dept you cannot walk away from….EVER!  I will have a long talk with him and see what he wants to do.  Next December he will turn 21 also so that is another concern of mine.  Where will that lead?  He already lives with 21 year olds.  So I am sure if he wants booze it’s not an option.  Although he can’t really afford to buy it since he is on a tight budget with his earnings.  He will adjust and grow and I don’t worry about him as much as our younger son.

Our younger son has no goals, nothing, he hates his job Ifinally am making him take the ACT test next week which really is too late.  He should have applied at colleges already and now he tells me he is not going ot college he is just going to join the Army.  He wants to go fight in the war.  They are so completely different it scares me.  He is not afraid of anything and learns from his mistakes.  He wants to prove us wrong and show us he can do this military life.  I have no doubt he can, but at what cost!   I guess joining the military is better than not doing anything and just sitting around wasting your life away.  I have to look at it like that. 

On other news, tomorrow we are having a baby shower for my brother and his wife.  They are having their first baby and I am so excited, I can’t wait.  They only live 1.5 miles from me so guess who will be babysitting alot! I can’t wait.  It’s been 12 years since we have had a new baby in our family.  Heck I am probably closer to being a great aunt than a regular aunt.  But I can hardly wait.  The baby is due the end of November.  We don’t know what it is so that will be a nice surprise too. 

We also have a 50th birthday party tomorrow night for my neighbor.  We are telling her we are going to one neighbors house to have a get together.  Something we do alot.  Then at 7:30 a limo trolly is going to come and pick us up and take us around to bars for a couple of hours.  In the meantime our neighbors kids are going to help set up food and thier house so when we come back we can have a party at thier house.  Aren’t we sneaky.  I don’t think she has a clue because her actual birthday isn’t until the 25th, the next week.  I can’t wait it is going to be so much fun!  If I knew how to post pictures I would but I am so computer illiterate it isn’t funny! 

Anyway I have been working all week and I need to  get this house in order.  I have to go pick up the cake pretty soon too. So I better run.

Happy Fall Y’all!
