Well, it has been a long time since I bothered with a blog post. Mostly because I forgot I had a blog! LOL. Life has been very busy since my Texas trip last July. That trip did not turn out as expected for anyone. After watching Harry Potter 7.2, I did get on the plane and when I landed in Texas, my sister picked me up from the airport. Things went crazy after that. She had an issue, we went to the ER, and several hours later, we were in an operating room for an emergency C-section for my niece. She was born about a month early. She spent a few weeks in NICU, but is doing great now. She's now 13 months old!
I did still get to San Antonio and met Nicole in person! Finally! Had been 10 years!! Had a wonderful girl-date with her, toured the Alamo, rode a boat down the Riverwalk, had dinner and went to a piano bar. Can't wait to do that again!
The school year was crazy. Driving my 2 high schoolers to 2 different schools, 30 minutes apart. Exhausting. At least ended up with 30 to 45 minutes to myself before waking the youngest for 8th grade. Marching Season for Band was nuts but loved every minute of it! Girl Scouts was fun as well. Trying to work with both schedules was wonky, but we managed.
This past Spring, the ex and I finally got finished fighting over custody, visitation and child support. Don't think I'll have to deal with that crap again, the oldest will be 17 next month! *crossing fingers*
I made a new friend in May while riding out a tropical storm thru Twitter. Very glad I met him. He's a sweetie! The kids went on summer visitation in crazy style this year, since the oldest didn't pass algebra 2, again. She took an intense summer school for 2 weeks, then worked really hard on completing it while at her dad's. She did finish and pass, thank goodness!
I got to go on a trip this summer, heck, been back home only a week today! (Doesn't seem possible it was that recent!!) I went to the Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas. Holy cow did I have fun!! I got to meet many of the people I follow/talk with on Twitter. That was so much fun! I got to meet, in person, my friend I met in May, and many others. The panels with the stars were great, but meeting my Twitter friends, that was so much better! Can't wait for next year!!
So, starting today, the first day back to school for the kids, all 3 are in high school and all at the same school. Thank goodness!! Saves on gas and time! Marching Season started at the beginning of the month with all day sessions and continues tomorrow afternoon with after school practice. Busy schedules have resumed and there shall be much running around! Two days of after school band practice, the middle day is Girl Scouts, and Fridays are football games! And to torture myself even more, I'm considering starting a minor workout tonight. (and by minor, I mean 30 minutes on a treadmill to start). I know that I'll get a pretty good workout with football games and working concessions and helping with instruments after away games, so hoping to drop inches, at the very least, before next year's STLV!
So, that's been my crazy year since I last posted. Will try to post more often, not like anyone has read any of these anyways! LOL! Bye.
