My little one graduated pre-k at the end of May.
My son graduated high school last weekend.
My oldest daughter broke up with her boyfriend and quit her job at the thrift store she’s been working at for 4 years. She has a few weeks off so we are going out doing fun things m-f together.
My stepson who is in the marines called to say goodbye just in case. He shipped out somewhere this morning.
The first week of July my son starts his first job.
The second week of July my oldest daughter starts her new job as a nurses aide.
Photo is one I took while on an outing last week.

@snowy22315 I meant Monday through Friday.
I hope so. My husband isn’t worried but his mother and I are.

@shaggin As long as there isn't a land invasion I wouldn't worry. Congress isn't supporting the war at this point, but if gas goes sky high again..I guess there is a possibility

I'm happy to see you back on myLot! 
I've missed talking with you.
I'm glad everybody was doing well as of this morning, as far as you know. I HOPE nothing happens to your step-son on down the road.
What will your son be working at starting in July?
Those are beautiful roses. 
How are you doing? What are you doing now?
I'm supposed to see my doctor in July. I'm still getting dizzy and falling once in a while. At least I've only gotten minor injuries (Other than stitches in my scalp when I fell off the front porch a few months ago. *shrug*) that healed right up.
I've been having trouble getting around since I went to the ER in February but still no closer to seeing the Neurologist. The appointment with her is still set for September.
Pretty is doing well and is now my carer. I rarely drive anywhere anymore. *shrug* Hopefully, the neurologist can help with the dizziness and falling when she sees me. We shall see.

@daddyevil my son will be working at the school. Custodian and assistant to the band director. They created the position for him it’s wonderful!
I am doing well. Staying busy doing things with my family. When my little one goes to school in August I will be looking for a part time job hopefully as an aide at the school.
That is awful you have to wait so long to see the neurologist with all that is going on with you.

@shaggin Working as a school custodian is a good job. I don't know about being the assistant to the band director, though. I'm glad they made a position for him!
Oh, that would be nice... I hope you can get a good position with the school.
Our doctor is trying to get an appointment for me sooner. We'll see what will happen.

Did her quitting and splitting with her boyfriend have anything to do with each other.

@thislittlepennyearns they actually were both planning to quit to move to a different area for jobs. She isn’t moving anywhere though. I think he actually just put in his two weeks notice as well.

It sounds like everyone's life is changing. It's hard on us Mom's, I know. I hope it all goes well for them, and for your stepson being deployed. I know that's a concern.

@MarieCoyle I am worried about my stepson. I don’t think I’ll ever get to stop worrying until he leaves the marines. I wonder what job he will do after and hopefully that one won’t have me all worries too. I’ll just be happy when he’s home safe or even back in our country.
All the other kids changes are good

My nephew is in the Navy. He was home for a visit, and was told to report for duty this week. He is being deployed, too. It's hard...we never know what they will face.
I am glad the rest of the kids are well!

@valherma00 I love when my kids and I are out this time of year and see so many different flowers people have planted. I wish I had a green thumb.
