it's only the second week of july and it seems that summer has been here forever... how about you? the girls are driving me nuts, have you too heard the phrase "i'm bored! there's nothing to do!" as well from your children? and it's not like they don't have anything to do! they've got their own computer with all the games they could ever want (no internet on their's, just mine), they've got a library of books (i have a slight book problem, i have my own library as well), 2 gameboy sp's, 2 gameboy colors, and lots of games for both. did i mention the directv with like 15 kid friendly channels? or the 10 acres we live on with lots of room to explore? kids today! they're so different from when i was growing up.
of course, i too have been a little bored. i've read at least 15 books since summer started, i've played big kahuna reef 2 until that song is in my head forever, i've watched dvd's (we got netflix! gotta love it!), i've crocheted lots of dish rags...
but... still... it's there...
maybe it's the unstructuredness of it all... that has to be it. when it's not summer, we're on a time schedule, we know what's gonna happen... every second of the day. in summer, it just kinds flows... you look at the clock... it's noon... really?! where did the morning go?
although, it hasn't all been that way. yesterday morning we took a walk and noticed that our vacationing neighbors mailbox had been knocked down. the mail man had already given him one of those notices. so, we collected his mail, stuck it in his house, went back to ours and got the post hole digger. dad caught me (we share the 10 acres with my parents) and asked what i was doing. i explained. he took the post hole digger and went and re-installed the mailbox. like i can't do these things! who do you think put up our mail box? me! anyway, it's back up and the postal guy won't go postal. my husband would have done this, but he's over at his brothers this weekend helping him put up fence.
we've been to the lake (heyburn) a few time too. it's so nice and quiet over there. the first time we went, my cell phone madly rang. it was the mystery shopping company that handles sonic. they needed a shop done on the bristow one like NOW. they paid me $5 extra to do it. we were already almost half way there, so i said, sure. great food, quick service, but boy do they have a fly problem! ugh! it was awful! keep your windows rolled up if you eat there. i hadn't been in bristow in like years, nice place. they have a pizza hut! no fair! sapulpa used to have 2 of them, now one is the whataburger(not fast food by the way... slow slow food! do not use the drive thru! i have been in that line for like 15 minutes before, go inside, it's quicker), and the other is a family diner.
well, ok... guess that's all for now. maybe something exciting will happen this week...
