A Good Time was had by ALL
Well, at least I think everyone enjoyed last weekend.
The boys have all gone home and its back to routine life in NY.
Work is still terrible, but a little less so now that I have some part time help.
I am still hoping to reduce my hours for the summer by one day a week. Then, maybe I can get more weekend trips back to Maine in. As it is now, I work about 55 hours a week....and that does not include travel time.
Youngest son, H had his Black Belt test yesterday. He passed, but not being able to be there, I don't have any details. I hate not being able to be there for stuff like this. Ya, He's 21 years old now and does not need his mother, but still. I miss him and wish I could always be there, in person to support him. I am lucky to have had as much time with my children as I have, I know. Luckier still, to have been a welcome participant in many of their activities. But it was not without sacrifices on my part. Seems like a small reward to be able to be present for the milestones. And yet, here I am; distinctly NOT Present. Ah wHELL. Such is life.
And so, it is a lovely day in NY. I will go out and get some fresh air and sunshine and console myself with a slice from the local pizzaria.
Have a lovely !
