Since I was oblivious... I forgot to take photos... the Schultz family joined the kiddos and me at the pool and stayed there most of the day followed by supper out where MeMom and Pop Pop joined us.
One photo of my silly kiddos
Well... tonight I was lonely... Bob was working, Morgan was headed to a local carnival then sleepover, and RJ is still away on vacation with a friend. So... I decided to go to a local 'old fashion' movie theater and see the new Moana movie. Not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time I go to a movie alone. But, for $5.00 how could I go wrong?
This morning when I went for my run around 7am you could see the haze from the Canadian Wild Fires drifting over the sun. It was kinda eerie! The air didn't smell too bad yet. Yesterday the air quality was not great and you could smell the smoke! The weather forecast said the air was supposed to be worse today... and as I was running I get the message that the pool was closed all day due to poor air quality. Never would have thought in a million years the pool would be closed due to air quality - poop in the pool, yes - broken system, yes... but air quality? Ooof.
So... I have been in a bit of a funk recently so I decided I would go to the pool and swim some laps... well some laps turned into a lot! I started getting into rhythm and it almost felt like meditation! I just counted my strokes and focused on my breathing. It felt amazing!
RJ got invited to go with a friend to Myrtle Beach for two weeks. That was very generous but I said he could go for a week. He is there now and will come home Saturday - One full week is enough especially since he will return home, work for one week, then has our family vacation for a week followed by two weeks of band camp! I needed him to make a little extra money, lol. This photo is from today, they didn't do too much yesterday when they first got down to South Carolina - long car ride! They left Saturday morning at 3:00AM!
Morgan decided she needed a pick-me-up so she decided at the last minute that spending over $300 on a Megan Moroney ticket was worth it. A friend wanted to go too so they went to the concert in Philly and had an amazing time! I'm so glad to see her smile!
Tonight was senior night and RJ's last swim for the summer season. He will be away for champs - lucky duck he is, lol. He did well tonight - but I always think he does well! We had a 45 minute 'intermission' for heard thunder but somehow got the entire meet in. Great job buddy! Only one more season you are forced to swim, haha.
RJ was bored because I took away his electronics... he enjoyed time playing with Duke!
It only took... a year... but it is done! Yay! I bought both the shoe rack and the dresser and measured the other side for the hanging clothes section. I measured what size we needed for the shelf and with help from both Morgan (for building the right side) and Dad (building of the hanging clothes side) the closet is officially finished! Again, wahoo!!
NOW...Morgan needs to de-closet the entire guest room and use her own brand.new.closet. Any bets, how long will that take?
