The End Of Summer

Well, This is the last week before the boy's start back to school.  Friday we go get the boy's schedules. I've already gotten school supplies and clothes, it just seems like it all went so fast & the boys are not at all enthusiastic at all. Glad to have the cooler temps. coming but it's kinda sad saying goodbye to summertime fun. Staying up as long as you wanted, sleeping in as late as you could & just being free to do as you wished. But as summer ends and fall comes in, we can look forward to not only cooler weather but of course, the holidays and celebrating it all with family. I will be homeschooling my youngest son this year because I'm not at all pleased with the policies & treatment of the students and parents, as well as the overall grade of the school. Just thought I could do better one on one with my son where as when he was in public school last year, the teachers were so overwhelmed with students that they couldnt give the attention that was needed. We shall see. Me, Manny & the boy's have been through a lot this past year and were hoping that things can get back to what most call a "normal" life.  I've done a lot of thinking about what's happened and with so called "family" & "friends" and I know that I'll never have the relationship I had so hoped for and I've even thought about just not trying to have a relationship at all anymore. I have tried my best only to just be ignored or lied to & I'm hurt that my boy's get thier hopes up like me only to get disappointed..again & again. Would that make me a bad person? I don't think so...   I'm just not going to waste anymore of my time trying when they don't even care enough to do that. Life is all too short & I feel as though I need to move on & do what makes me & my boys happy. Sure they'll be missed but then again....if our relationship was little to none, what am I missing?  anyway,....I will be blogging more once things get a little more settled, I hope to blog on a daily basis with home life, recipes, freebies, do it yourself crafts and all kinds of good stuff. Fall weather always puts me in a calm, laid back & not always so hurried, peaceful state to focus on things that I like to do. As we say goodbye to summer with the last few cookouts and nights of staying up & sleeping in, I wish you all the best for a new season. 

Til next time yall!
