Jul. 20th, 2017 08:45 am I went on vacation, well more like staycation, with my mom a week ago. It was fun, frustrating, exhausting and pretty much everything else that comes out of vacation with my mother. She came up with my niece and two nephews and the kids all had a blast. She rented a house by the lake and Finn abandoned us for the week to sleep over with his cousins. My mom had us on the go from bright and early in the morning till well into the evening. It think were all still recovering.
The Boy (aka my husband, not my son) started his new job three weeks back and it's working out very well for him. They don't pay or have benefits kick in until you've been working there for 40 days, so we're riding on my pay and savings until then and on my benefits alone as well, but after that, his job's benefits are better than either mine or his previous job and he'll get paid more so that's good. We are in a position we can absorb the wait time, but I wonder about those that couldn't. I mean, we certainly could not earlier in our careers.
My garden's growing. I might be able to harvest peas, but haven't really had much chance to get out there in the last couple of days. The person that opens the library has been out, so I've been coming in early, then getting the kids fed and driving them to track in the evening. Tomorrow I'm taking a half day to take my son to the eye doctor's so I'm hoping to get a chance to go out there soon
