Flag Day...and other things

"The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history."

~Woodrow Wilson


Today is Flag Day, which also is/was my grandfather's birthday (the one who went to college) ... He was a very patriotic person, and today I received a form of freedom from my bosses...not the same that our flag has grown to represent, but I will take what I can get!

* The City "Manager" approved the Concert...which frees me to advertise the July 4th festivities that I would have already have had completed in normal circumstances. I was SO relieved when I got the news that I could have cried! So, I am going to work my tush off to make this happen as smooth as possible. I am excited about all the festivities and I expect a large turnout because we are one of the only counties in NM & TX that will be allowed to have a fireworks display.

* Summer Recess has been going well for the most part. We have had a HUGE amount of kids sign up and we have about 270 or so show up a day. It's gone pretty smooth but the inevitable petty bickering has started...so hopefully I will get that nipped in the bud this week.

* Clayton still doesn't have any sort of employment...though he has expressed interest in having the boys for Father's Day...honestly I am surprised he even knew it was this weekend. He told me that he is going to Dairy Fest in Stephenville, TX...he said that you could buy a wristband and get all the grilled cheese, milk, cheeseburgers and cottage cheese you can handle! SOUNDS LIKE A FLIPPIN' NIGHTMARE if you ask me! LOL

* David and I have been doing well with our Insanity workouts...today, though it is a rest day, is our 14th day. So, after two weeks...I can't say that I have lost a pound, but I feel good. I said in the beginning that I would start back on Nutrisystem two weeks in, so I am back on the wagon for that tomorrow. bleh. I just love food, and I stinkin' love to cook...sigh... I can do it though!
