Family (two legged ones) Update.

Sara and Meg left for swim camp for a whole week on Sunday and I was supposed to enjoy the peace and quiet while they were gone. Thanks to the cat that isn’t happening.

For the most part they seem to be enjoying camp. Of course I got a call Tuesday from the college nurse saying don’t panic but Megan fell off her bunk and hurt her foot. My response was she is the youngest of 4 so unless your going to tell me she is dead not much will phase me. She had a scrape on the top of her foot and a bruise on her shin from screwing around on the ladder of her bunk. 3 ½ hours away and she is making poor choices. But it all worked out and she will be fine and is swimming. They both seemed to make some new friends and I go pick them up on Saturday if I don’t have to take the cat to the vet. Then Dave will have to go get them or take the cat to the vet.

Sean attended a Football camp up in Rochester last week and loved it. He even won an award for his group which made him smile ear to ear. He also got to hang with his cousin Dylan and they had a blast catching up and getting reacquainted. He has been home and attending his summer work outs for football every afternoon and swimming in the morning for swim club. But he some how did something to his knee last night at practice and is limping and bruised. Can you imagine how I reacted when he called me to ask me to come get him because he had screwed up his knee.

Ian is not returning to Fredonia. He failed to confirm his dorm room and was put on a waiting list so we said there is no way in hell you’re living off campus so I guess you aren’t going back. But he needs to be in school or he gets booted off our insurance so he transferred his stuff to the local college down the road GCC and is taking a 12 credit course load to stay a full time student and get some of his stuff out of the way. And he is looking for a job. He has an interview on Monday at TOPS so hopefully he will be working soon and have a purpose in life. He also has to complete his 20 hours of community service here in Dansville within a month’s time so he will be busy for the next few weeks at least. I am sad he isn’t returning to Fredonia but I am thrilled to have him close and safeish.

The hubby continues to make us all look bad by taking care of himself and exercising and eating well. His blood pressure has pretty much come down to a point where they may take him off the meds he has been on for years.

Where his is going down mine has been steady high for the past few months. I finally figured I better address it before I am the next casualty in the house. The stress is wearing me thinner than I have been worn in a long time and I am not sure how much longer I can stay the strong one. I laughingly say I would have a nervous break down I just don’t have the time or energy.

I am off to do something good for myself for the second time today and go swimming even though I just want to crawl into bed and sleep.

Stay safe, Stay Cool, Feel Loved.
