I saw something in my son this week that I haven’t seen in quite some time – PRIDE! When I got home from work on Monday, he couldn’t wait to tell me about his day. Seems just about every one of his classes had a paper due, or a test given, right before spring break. He had gotten back all of the scores and there was nothing below a B. He even scored a 96% on his Social Studies test – a class he really struggles with. It was good to see him excited about school, and about himself.
In that moment, the apprehension and fear that overwhelmed me when deciding whether he should be on meds for his ADHD evaporated. We are still tweaking the dosage, but there is definitely progress.

Wednesday morning conversation with my company’s CEO as I held the door open for him:
Me: Good Morning! I just can’t seem to let a door shut when someone is just seconds away from walking in behind me.
CEO: (serious tone) That’s a bad habit. We need to toughen you up!
Me: (sarcastically) Yes, what would this world come to if we all started looking out for other people rather than ourselves all of the time.
CEO: (in astonishment) Well, I can tell you one thing. You’ll never get ahead in life looking out for other people.
Interesting ... something tells me I need to soften him up!
Ummm … dude? Go to Sears and buy yourself a Craftsman wet/dry vac. That way you can experience the joys of high powered suction in your own home AND take advantage of that Craftsman life-time warranty! Of course, your neighbors might wonder why you vacuum every night … for hours … and why you named your vacuum Sucking Suzy, but still! It’s much better than actually having to appear in court to plead “no contest” to indecent exposure. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the idea behind a “self-serve” car wash!
I’ve started planning the summer vacation schedule. It looks like we’ll be heading to southern Texas mid-June for my niece's graduation. Not sure what kind of free time I'll have, but I might be able to carve out an hour or two for a local excursion.
I’ve also got eastern Washington on the agenda again this summer in either late July or early August. It will just be me and Cam again, but I think this time we’ll fly. Of course I’ll rent a car while there and hopefully make a side trip or two. I’m guessing grandma would love to spend some one-on-one time with heronly favorite grandson!
Anyone in either of those areas wanting to confirm my 6’ stature and overall good nature? It’s been a while since I’ve met up with any bloggers and I’m feeling the itch. Not that itch you ninnies, although it has been quite some time since it's been scratched by anyone but me!
