Gloomy & Cold

All my entries seem to start out with the weather forcast. I wonder if that is telling me something. Ran to Walmart earlier just to pick up a few groceries. Not my normal place to go shopping but the boys need undies and I found some sweats for the younger kid. He lays around alot and I thought sweats would be good for that. Half the time he is in his p.j’s so I at least it will look like he got dressed then. He is a typical teen who only likes to wear what is comfortable. Pants falling off of him way to big around the waist. And he will wear the same shirt every day if I let him. Some kids, and he hates to take a shower. What is up with that?? I hate feeling grimy. I can’t stand going one day without taking a shower, it drives me nuts!! I need a shower just to wake up. Plus I have the worst hair in the morning. I even hate going to the gym, but I got over it, heck if I am doing my hair before the gym!!

I have to work the next four days so no shopping then. I am hoping I can come up with something to give for the couple of things I still need to buy for some people. Like my son’s girlfriend. What do I give a 18 year old? He said she doesn’t like gift cards. It’s like a cop out since you didn’t really shop for a gift. Yet I don’t know what she likes. I did buy her a fleece blanket that is held by a little bear. I thought she could keep it in her car in case it breaks down. Since he has broken down a number of times on her. My son said she likes lotions from Victoria Secret or Bath & Body Works. She told him her dad said Andy shouldn’t buy anything from Victoria Secret for her. LOL I thought that was funny.

My son is turning 18 next week. I can’t believe it. Seems like just yesterday I brought him home from the hospital with NO MANUEL! LOL He has been such a joy to raise. That is why it is so hard to let him go to college next year. My hubby finally put his foot down and said we can’t afford for you to go to North Dakota State University. He said he wanted to go anyway. That kid will be in such deep debt by the time he gets out of college. If he makes it he will be making really good money. But still, the debt will kill you if you have kids right away. But you know you can’t tell them anything, they know it all. I told hubby he needs to sit down and discuss it with him and lay the line what he is going to do for him. He still has not been accepted but I think he will be. We will find out in the next couple of days I would think. Maybe he will be lucky and get put on a waiting list. I will keep you all posted.

Not much else happening I should get some laundry done and cleaning too since I go back to work tomorrow and nothing will happen after that. Man I so appreciate the women that work full time and still can accomplish all of their tasks. To me it seems really overwhelming. Congratulations mom’s who do it all! I wish I could do that and not feel so overwhelmed.

Have a great day, stay warm!
