The last week of school came and went. Mom come down from North
Carolina , were she moved at the beginning of
May. I had to work one more week and CJ
had off so Mom came and helped me take care of CJ. CJ loved having my mom here and I think that
my mom enjoyed being here and relaxing.
On Wednesday I got out of work early so we went and got mom’s Ipad fixed
and went for a mani/pedi. It is funny
how fast CJ can get moving and jump in a car if she is going for a
mani/pedi.
Thursday after I got done with work we went to the Orchard, picked
blackberries, and feed the animals. Mom
enjoyed the drive through the country side.
Friday we had a lot of fun.
We went up to Biltmore for the day.
I packed a picnic lunch and we had lunch in the gardens at
Biltmore. Every time I go up there I
learn something new and have such a relaxing time. Mom did great even with all the walking. We stopped when she could not go anything,
but she was a trooped and kept pusher herself.
I told her we did not need to see everything if she could not make it,
but she kept going. We did not do much
at Antler Hill
Village
This week CJ and I have been running around trying to get
lots of stuff done that I was not able to get done during the school year, like
doctors appointments. CJ and I are both
healthy. The doctor told CJ that she is
doing everything right but that she needs to start eating healthier (We all
do). She told her that she has to start
eating her vegetables and fruit.
Wednesday we went to CJ’s school for the summer reading
program and CJ got to make a fish, listen to a story, have a snack, and she got
to try to Hoola Hoop. On Thursday we
went to summer reading at the library were CJ got to do a craft and listen to
stories. She enjoyed seeing her friends
at both events and playing.
My little brown truck finely gave out on me, so for the last
two weeks I have been carless. I have
been so glad that mom was here with her car and the next week the rain held out
so CJ and I never got wet using the bike.
Jay get the big blue truck running enough to take to Car Max and sell it
to them for a very low rate, but at least we got something out of it. It was almost sad to see it go because that
is the truck I brought my baby home from the hospital in. We bought it because I was pregnant with my
baby girl and needed something that could hold a car seat. We drive that truck across this country
several times. It was a good truck but
it had given out. On Friday Jay
and I went car shopping. I wanted to get
a small SUV or a convertible; I as looking at Ford Escapes. We did not want to take out a loan and only
had $7000 to buy a car with. We looked
and looked at a lot of Junkers. We finely stopped at one lot and saw this 2009 PT
Cruiser. Jay
and I did not know anything about them but it was in our price. So we called my dad Kurt
and Jay called his brother (car people) they
both said that they were good cars. On
the internet it showed that they have better gas mileage than the Escape. I never thought in a million years that I
would buy a PT Cruiser but I did and I think that I really like it.
Today Jay had a BBQ contest
in Cowpens, so CJ and I went with him.
CJ got to march in the children’s parade. She did not want her picture taken so she
kept walking faster than I did. Kids
walked or rode their bikes in the parade.
CJ walked and twirled her baton.
After that we watched the adult parade, went on carnival rides, and CJ
got some shaved ice. On one of the rides
CJ tried to get off after it stopped with out help from the attendant. She tripped and fell scraping up both knees,
hands, and hit her head. Her knees were
bleeding and I had to bandage them. She
was so brave and did not cry much. She
just wanted to go on more rides. We all
came home happy and tired.
