Summer and Calming Down a bit

I have decided to pick my battles with my Daughter (Cheer). She has agreed to let me know when she is going to be late and I agreed to let her do her thing for a while. She is a good girl and really has not given me much cause to worry about her. She is dating a really nice young man, that seems to really care about her. He treats her right, and she is spending most of her time with him. I am a little worried, but I don't have much control over the situation. She is going to work and taking care of her obligations, so there is not much I can complain about. She will be 18 years old in 10 days, and she reminds me of that. She wants to go on a camping trip for her birthday. I bought her a big tent so that she can have fun. Her big brother is planning to accompany her. I think that he will keep them out of too much trouble. They are going to a state park, so I think they will be safe. I am planning to go up on Friday and feed them, then they will stay the rest of the weekend. She always has loved her birthday to revolve around some sort of outdoor event. Swim parties, trips and such. She is my outdoor girl. I can remember our first camping trip, She was almost 2 years old and took to the outdoors immediately. She loved it. We went to Arkansas and love every minute of the week long trip. Lots of really good memories on that trip.

This has been are long week and I am really tire. My younger brother traveled into town from Kansas City. I spent two evenings (Sunday and Monday, visiting with him and my family. It was nice) Then on Wednesday, my Company had a pool party and NRH20. I was out late, Cheer and F Man took a bunch of friends. So last night, I just crashed early and I am dragging today. This weekend I am going to take my Mom to a family barbecue for the 4th of July. She just had knee surgery and she is getting around slowly. I am glad she had it done, because she was in pain.

Sometime this weekend I have got to get some cleaning in, I have to admit that I am not to good at this. Something I need to work on.

Hope you all have a very good 4th of July with lots of fun, love and Family enjoyment.

Take care.
