It's Friday and judging from the amount of action coming from the Fire station down the street the weekend must be starting early in my town. Hopefully it's not a bad accident.
Well the big boy is all packed up and ready to take his trip to school, he'll be back Sunday to go shopping with his dad and then back to school. Isn't time weird? I mean sometimes it goes so slow and then blink it's past. I enjoyed my time this summer with my Big boy he is really becoming quite a good man, and I am proud of him. He has changed a lot over these years and I am pleased. Hopefully, when he gets out of school and into the "real" world he will keep his good attitude. My husband is of the thought that we should be all involved in our kid's lives, like we can say or do something to prevent them from making mistakes. He spends long hours think about what these kids are doing, and how they are messing up their lives by their choices or how they are doing so well, or this or that. I disagree...NOBODY could have changed my mind when I was growing up... I was going to do what I was going to do. I mean if I had some self respect I might have done some things different, but if I hadn't married the first time I wouldn 't have had these great kids. And if I had dated and married Mark way back in high school, we probably wouldn't have been happy at all...experience is the teacher in our youth, mistakes, and good/bad decisions are what mold us...and I truly believe we never should stop growing. I plan on never growing up...I like being where I am at...it's as the kids say...all good.
AS you can see from my motorcycle picture that is our prime focus daily. We take nice rides and this weekend it will see some highway. All the "cool" motorcycle guys are all excited and inviting Mark to all the motorcycle group thingy's. I guess that makes us popular??? I don't care, I'll go but truly Mark and I both know that this bike is for us to share, a vehicle to get out and about to enjoy God's beauty. A place to escape the daily grind of life, and come back refreshed and ready to mix among the other inhabitants of this earth.

I think as parents we can plant the seeds but it's the kids themselves that determine what they will follow and what they wont...we're there to help guide them, and are there to give advice but the kids ultimately choose for themselves...that's what I think.
It's so nice to hear how happy you are, Rose. You've been through some pretty rough *stuff* too. And I love knowing you and Mark spend time on that gorgeous bike. What a way to enjoy life. Take care and have fun this weekend. Love ya.

Do you think you can get the boys dad and step mom to get me some clothes too? My dad and stepmom if I can ever call her that never ever ever cared what I wore. They sucked. I bet it's fun visiting your boys at school. Why did they lose so much weight? My hub loses about 20lbs every summer so I buy him ensures during the summer so he doesn't look 12. He's skinny enough as it is. As for parents changing kids minds. Well, I talk and talk to my kids in the hopes that they remember my words when they are doing stupid things. But you're right...when I was bad as a kid..and I was doing stuff there wasn't anyone that could have changed my mind. Kids think they are going to live forever. I'm never going to grow up either. : )
