So while we’re waiting to hear back about whether or no my oldest son still has his social security, I’m actually a little hopeful as he did get his latest check at the first of this month.

Surprise
So my oldest surprised me this week when we passed this old exercise bike that had been sitting out in front of a neighbor’s yard for the last couple of weeks. When I decided to go pick it up and bring it to our house, my oldest surprised me when he said he could ride it while watching television. Something I never thought I’d hear him say but, no less, was a pleasant surprise. I guess we’ll see.

The heat
I have to say, despite the heat, my oldest really hasn’t complained all that much. The down side is my youngest and I probably won’t get to play tennis anytime soon. Again, on the upside is I’m off Monday for Labor Day. One day at a time.

Perspective
So is it the word or the words that give me my perspective? While I may never know, I have to also think it’s life that plays a part in word, which in turn plays a part in the words. Maybe I’ll just let the words play out. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my kids, as they are part of my life.

A movie during the week
I have to say, I’m not use to going to see a movie during the week. Again, perhaps another benefit of working a little less. My oldest and I went to see Paw Patrol, a movie he wanted to see. He seemed to enjoy himself and that’s time I truly treasure.

Quiet time
I guess with all that’s gone on lately, I have to say I’ve enjoying the quiet time that I’ve gotten. It’s giving me time to clean the house, work in the garden and figure out what’s next in life, both for myself and my oldest. For this, I should be thankful.
Thank you!

Social Security…again…
So when last we talked I believe, my oldest and I had an interview with a mental health individual to determine if my son still has a disability. Now we’re just waiting on what they found. I still can’t believe we had to go through all of this.

Thinking about the future
So my oldest went over to a friend of his this weekend when I learned that his friend’s mom bought her son a house. Now while he is confined to a wheelchair, it got me back to thinking about my son and his future. I know I need to focus on his future as well. It’s just hard to sometimes as it means I need to focus on my future as well.

Grocery store checkout
So I’ve gone to the grocery store many times with my oldest, more so since he’s no longer a bagger at our other local stores but, tonight was a first. I had to go back while we were checking out to replace something I was buying because it was opened but, when I got back, he had rung up all the rest of the groceries and that was a first. I was so proud of him.

Vacation
Now last week, my youngest, oldest and myself took off for a vacation up north to our family cabin up north. Unfortunately there were a few mice who were already staying there, so we ended up spending a couple of days in two different hotels before heading back home.
Despite that however, we had the chance to do a lot of talking and in a way, I think next year we might head out west to a new destination, California. It’s a place I went with my family but, one where I ‘ve never gone with my kids. My youngest wants to see the redwoods and my oldest wants to see this ship called the Queen Mary. Me, I just want to go along for the ride and enjoy all our time together.
