The good news is Ian did get to play in the game Friday night in the last 7 mins of the game. The bad news is the reason why is because they were losing 41 to 13. I was so happy for him finally getting to put to use all that hard work he has been putting in since the second week in August. He said it felt good and was pumped to get better so he can go in more often. The whole family went to cheer him. It is nice when we go places as a whole family even if it is to a football game.
Soon the sports senior nights will arrive and I will be needing heavy sedation. My baby the senior doing everything one last time in high school. He can hardly wait for his senior year to be over so he can move on to college life. He says that now, if only he knew your only in this place once and can't go back so take it slow and savor every minute. This coming from an old person who does look back and realizes she blew a lot of opportunities. But on the flip side of the coin if I had taken those opportunities would I have ended up here with the people who are in my life right now and who I love so deeply? Yes that includes you honey. Who knows only the shadow do.
The main opportunity I wish I hadn't wasted is my higher education. Should have done it when I was young and had energy and time. Instead of having jobs similar to the one I have now that were and are yes money to the household but also mind numbing and stupid. And then trying to get the time, courage and money to take a class or two to change it. Dumb ass comes to mind. Should of, could of, would of, can't change the past but you can direct the future.
Today is more remodel and fixing up so that we can get the appraisal to lower our mortgage rate soon. Not much has happened toward that end because of my "vacation" I took this summer. But the next 6 month adjustment if coming soon and we need to get it done before that. My mother in law, the few times she came down to sit with the kids and help Dave while I was down and out, did some work to get us started. I love her dearly and continue to find more and more reasons everyday. I get to try wall papering again, I haven't done that since before we moved in here. And the down stairs bathroom I have to use my imagination to make it look good. We don't want to spend to much time or money on it because that is the next major rip out. It needs a new floor and bath and pretty much everything else. So wish me happy painting.
