The weekend and a hard day are over

Friday after school my son, my nephew and I went to the school to play. My daughter rode the bus home to her friends house and stayed until 9pm. Later that night I started buying my sons birthday presents on amazon and prime. By today (Monday) there were already 4 packages in the mail Saturday I got up early and headed out to get to the bank before it closed. While I was out I got groceries and found 3 geocaches. Just as I was heading home my daughter went shopping with her friend then stayed at her house until 10pm. Sunday I got up and did housework. I decided to check out a cemetery I had never been to before to see if there was a nice spot I could hide a geocache. It wound up being a really hard place to find and I kept winding up on private property instead. I did finally find it but it’s to near houses to hide a geocache. I did get to see a mausoleum there but sadly the inside had been vandalized I went to my boyfriends house after then came home and made dinner. Today I woke up and the hermit crab was dead. If my children’s father was still alive he would have turned 36 today. I was much more emotional over it then I expected after 7 years since he passed. As my daughter was walking home from school a guy told her to watch out because there was a bear in our yard. My son and I looked out the window and my son saw the back end of him run off down back. It was absolutely gorgeous out today! My son decided he wanted to try to ride his bike. I bought it for him May of 2015. He rode it across the basketball court and back and was too nervous of it being tipsy (even with training wheels) that he never got on it again until today. Good news is he loved it and I’m so excited about that and plan to buy him a bigger one. Photo is of my dog eating the apples that fall off the tree in the yard! She loved them.

@snowy22315 my boyfriend said his dog loved them too. I guess they are just very tasty balls to them.

@shaggin Funny, I don't think Jax would eat one. Maybe if it was outside he would.

@snowy22315 I don't think I ever tried cutting her an apple piece and giving her them when we ate them. She found them in the ground when they fell off the tree and then I think by accident found them tasty. A win win for her

@sallypup I was upset about it being my late husbands birthday so my son and I got a bit behind that day in his homework. Now we have desperately been trying to catch up. By tomorrow we should be fully done and have the weekend free which will be busy.

I never mind being busy but this week when I thought would be more relaxing due to not having to go anywhere has still been busy. I was upset Monday over it being my late husband birthday so my son and I slacked off on school work. Now we are playing catch up and it's been tough. Thankfully we are almost all caught up now as it is my boyfriends birthday this weekend and I don't want to spend it doing cyber school. I'm hoping to get time to take my son bike riding too.

@shaggin I can imagine. Do the school work first, and everything else will follow.

That's good that your son is back on the bike. Eventually they get big enough or mature enough to tackle these things.

@JudyEv too bad though it took 4 years and now the bike is too small lol. I think I spent $75 on it for him to ride it across the pavement and back lol. I'll try to sell it one summer rolls around. It looks brand new after being stored in a shed.

@shaggin I didn't realise you'd had it so long. Hopefully you'll be able to sell it for a reasonable price.

@shaggin I looked up info on them, because I always thought of them as human killing machines LOL. and read that they don't usually go after humans, and are afraid of us. though that's getting less and less as time goes on. so I really don't know.. lol

Some people avoided cemeteries like anything, but you didn't seem to worry about them . Hope you feel much better now after the emotional moments.

@YrNemo they are hidden Tupperware containers. The person who hides the container puts a notepad and a hand carved stamp in it. The hider will write up a listing in atlasquest.com with directions and where to park then gives you hints on where to look from there.

@shaggin Please explain to me about the letterboxes in cemeteries. I am curious. (Is that a sort of a game?)

@shaggin got it! When my kids were little, their father often took them to odd areas to follow the clues. I often sat on the car yawning (have to take care of the youngest!).
