Busy life
Things are busy around here these days. The boy is home from school for spring break and keeping us on our toes.
The girl and her hubby have come over a few times this week for some family games and it's been so fun to just have everyone in the house and laughing together.
The boy is about to graduate. He has a girl friend in a far off land called Indiana. Weird thing, they met online and they haven't actually met in person. I don't know how they met, but hey, what can I say? I've met some people on the internet too.
Anyway, they have been going out for 8 months. If you can call it that. I mean, let's face it. Things are a lot different from when I was dating Bossman. We didn't have email, Skype, texting, cellphones. So, they probably see more of each other than we did at that age. They see each other everyday on their phones. It's crazy, but he claims he's in love.
Little does he know we've aranged a surprise for his birthday/graduation gift. He turns18 4 days before graduation. We are flying her in to surprise him. It's going to be crazy! I'm nervous and excited for him. I just can't believe she's going to keep it a secret. But so far she has.
I know it's only March, but graduation will be here before we know it. He wants to go to Indiana for college, (I wonder why) but I just don't know if we can afford it. Unfortunately we don't have much money saved for his college. It was hard enough paying for his school he's at now and we've had help with it over the years. I'll be honest. Thinking about college is making me nervous. I want what's best for him but I don't want him going into debt for the rest of his life. Bossman makes too much money to qualify for much financial aid. So, I don't know what to do. We can help some but college is expensive. Plus, if I'm being really honest, I don't know much about going to college. Bossman and I only went to a junior college. I have no experience with this stuff.
We will figure it out. We have a great Jr. College here in our town that he will probably end up attending for a couple of years, he can get his basics out of the way and can live with us and work too.
I don't know, it's just a lot to think about.
That's what going on in my life.....how's everything going in yours?
Ta ta, for now.

27
Last weekend Bossman and I celebrated our 27th anniversary. To put that in perspective, when I started this blog we had just celebrated our 15th.
Also, since I'm celebrating anniversaries, I started this blog in March of 2004, so if my math is correct, I've had this blog for 12 years. My son was in kindergarten, my daughter, 8th grade. Now, my son is about to graduate and my daughter is married.
It's pretty surprising to me to go back and read some of the things I posted. Most of it is boring and crap and I was mostly using this blog as a diary. BUT, It is really eye opening to see how far I've come. How far WE'VE come.
We've come a long way. Mostly good. Some, not so good. But the important thing is that Bossman and I are still married and still in love. Our kids are healthy and happy. I survived cancer! The rest, well, the rest is just gravy!
I have often thought I should close down the old blog. I don't post much so why should I keep it? But looking back I realize that it's a documented account of my life....well pieces of my life. And maybe this should be the name of this blog, instead of a day in the life, it should be pieces of my life.
Anyway, I will leave it here. I will post when the mood strikes.
And, I will continue to try to get Bossman to spank me!
Ta ta for now,
grace
