and best of all, I got some water time. It seems that the longer I go without it, the less motivation I have to go and so it was really really nice to get back in and catch some fun little waves. Meanwhile, school has been really stressful but fun. Learning lots of new things, like how to take people out of cars after an accident:
If you didn't know any better you'd think I only had three boys because there's never any mention of oldest son anymore. He's just at a phase where he's too old/cool to hang out with us anymore and he spends every waking moment in the water with his friends. Though it's frustrating because he doesn't want to do anything else, I'm happy to know that at least he has the discipline to dedicate himself so wholly to something and work towards being the best he can be at it...he's winning contests and even got sponsored by a bodyboard company:
Though as his mother I have to wonder how will that help him get a career or get him thinking about his future...it's pretty frustrating but oh well, right? Hubby said it's hard because he sees his parents like to have fun a lot too so what can I say? He's doing well in school at least.

Good news to end this post... today we finally sold that darn gas guzzlin' monster of a truck we had! Remember two years ago when I wanted to surprise hubby with the truck of his dreams? It turned out to be SUCH a nightmare...especially when diesel went up to $5.50 a gallon! I mean, I really put NO thought into it, I just thought, this is what he wants, I'll get it for him. Little did I know it was way too much truck for us. I mean, we don't have a boat or a horse to tow, why did we need so much power? It just was so costly after the gas was so high it was ridiculous so GOOD RIDDANCE! Now we can breathe easier and get some necessities...like a new icebox. with french doors! and an icemaker! and gallon sized door shelves!! We got four growing boys and our tiny little icebox that is leaking needs to be upgraded. But now I'm just rambling. Ok, off to read blogs now. goodnight : )
