Random Thoughts

Its been a while since I have blogged but for no particular reason. I have had a few things I thought about writing about but have been unable to come up with more than a few sentences so I will combine a few things that really have nothing to do with each other.

1. I got gas this morning and nearly broke down in tears. $4.19 a gallon--is that crazy? Not only does it cost way more for gas but it cost way more for groceries because of it. The cost of things is going up and up and my salary is not. We are definitely making less trips and trying to cut costs but are really not finding significant savings anywhere.

2. Do I feel old or young? On the same day my son is graduating from high school the son of one of my best friends, since I was about 15, is having a bris. We are the same age and our sons are about 18 years apart. This isn't the only one of my good friends with a newborn. Later in the week I will be attending a baptism for the son of the best man at my wedding and in January one of my other best girlfriends had twins. My friends children will be babysitting my grandchildren. WEIRD!!

3. Proud mom moment....A.J. was named the 2008 Scholar Athlete of the Year at Canyon High. His name will be painted on the gym wall and will be there for all to see for all time. Once its up I will take a picture and post it for y'all to see.

4. My husband is terrific!! Not only has he done some amazing projects around the house lately--reupholstered his boat, put in a whole house fan, built a fire pit in the backyard--but he has also been sweet, kind and loving to me even when I have been grouchy and overwhelmed. He has been able to take me out of my nasty mood and make me laugh and smile. I don't think I tell him enough how much appreciate him.

5. A.J. is leaving for school is less than a month. I THINK I am fine with it but then again maybe I am not. Wednesday was the first, of what I think will be many, requests for dinner items before he leaves. He asked for Chicken Bacon Ranch Boboili pizza "before I leave". Of course, I said sure with a smile on my face but I got a little sad thinking about it.

Well, as usual, I thank you all for listening. More soon!
