2024: I Will Make This Year Different

  August 10 -   My sister gets to enjoy her Christmas gift today!!!! We are going to see P!nk in concert this evening in St. Louis for the first leg of her US tour. My oldest son and a friend of his are going to see Marilyn Manson, Five Finger Death Punch, and Slaughter to Prevail. If I didn’t already have tickets to see P!nk, I’d be with them. I’d love to see Slaughter to Prevail! I did make it to the gym before we left town.  August 11 -   Today I am not motivated to do a dang thing. The concert was fantastic! Well worth the wait. My sister and I rode the MetroLink into the city and walked to the venue (like a block). However, when we left, we made the HUGE mistake of going to the wrong side of the street and stood on the wrong platform to go back to where the car was parked. Once we found out we were on the wrong side, we tried to cross the street to get to the correct platform, only to discover (after another MetroLink) that we crossed the wrong street ...

August 3 -   The little one and I traveled today to see family. His grandparents are so generous and purchase school clothes for their grandkids every fall. It’s such a kind and thoughtful gesture that helps so much. Before we left town, I went to the gym and got a good workout in. I packed my stuff to write and worked on my workbook for the relationship class. August 4 -  We safely returned from visiting the grandparents. Yay! I took today as a rest day and considering the time I got home and the time the gym closes, that was an excellent decision on my behalf. LOL! No writing today though. August 5 -   I didn’t write, but I did make it to the gym. August 6 -   Again failed to write, but made it to the gym. August 7 -   Tomorrow is the first day of registration. My summer is over. *crying emoji* Hopefully a LOT of students come through the three days of registration and pick up their Chromebooks so I don’t have to pass out as many on the fir...

We had hotel breakfast (which was not the best I’ve ever had, but it did the job. The event we attended required us to do some walking, which was nice after having a bad night of sleep. The little one had a great time at the event and eventually caught a minnow and a crawdad. He was very excited! After we finished the event, we stopped by the best ice cream place in the state and the little one had some ice cream that my Dad (his Papaw) loved. He said he may have to have it every Christmas like Papaw did. I love that he wants to keep a little bit of Dad with him. They didn’t have long together, but it’s wonderful that he’s trying t...
