Busy, Busy Days are slowing down
Today is June 7th. The past two weeks of LTHS activities have been exciting yet overwhelming. I am thankful that my kids are involved, however a few more grey hairs on my head are evident due to the fact that I wasn't sure if I was coming or going!!!
Madeline had her Badminton Banquet and finished up her finals with flying colors. She's volunteering at the La Grange Library every week, babysitting and participating in a tennis camp.
David won best actor at the LTHS theatre awards. He also won 5 scholarships during senior awards. He had prom last Thursday followed by post prom with the class on on a boat, ending with an overnight for 9 of his friends, chaperoned by moi and Carol A. at Carla's condo. What a blast. They are great kids, and Carol and I had fun too! Sunday was graduation brunch with the relatives at Chez Bodells then graduation at 2:00! It's over and I'm back to work! Hopefully, he will get one of the three jobs he interviewed for. If not, Mr. Mom Job is going to kick in asap!
On the artistic front, I finished a Series of Three, inspired by another artistic friend. Thank you ILY friend. You best be painting too!!! Ideas are running through my head--just not enough hours in the day! I am meeting with a new "client" (my friend and Pilates instructor) soon to create a couple pieces for her living room in exchange for Pilates sessions!
June 10th will be the one year anniversary of Kurt's death. It's still so strange and very hard to explain the feeling when someone isn't coming back through that door. Last year at this time it was a nightmare watching him suffer. And I'm thankful that he never will have to suffer like that again. I know he is at peace. Ya know, he's probably behind the Blackhawk's making it to the Stanley Cup!
Have a great summer! Since neither kids are going to camp, I booked a trip to France! Life's too short!! Bon Soir!
