Our summer so far

Two weeks ago was our first day of no school.  In some ways I'm not sure where the last two weeks went, and in some ways it feels like forever ago.  I think that is the way it always is though.

I am working very hard to not wish away our summer.  I can't imagine anything worse than that.  However, Robert needs to leave, and we need that to happen.  I know it might sound like I am a terrible mother.  However, I am well aware that the only chance we will ever have a decent relationship with Robert is for him to leave.  In some ways I was the same way with my own mother, but that was also very, very different.

The kids have their twice-a-day swim practices, although their enthusiasm is waning for them.  In many ways I can't blame them, but we paid an arm & a leg for swim and I need the to see it through.  Robert has had some Navy commitments, and has been spending a little bit of time with his girl friend.  I've been working on gettin my computer up and going the way I want it to be, and trying to recreate the band information.  I lost two months of things, but fortunately I keep very good records.  I'm trying to enjoy each day, and appreciate the laid back moments of the summer.  At the same time, I'm also trying to be productive and get things done in this period of down time.  It's a little crazy trying to do both, I guess.

Even though it is summer, I'm looking forward to the weekend, and enjoying some fun things with the kids.
