Great comments

A big "Thank you" for all of the great comments on my entry yesterday.  I agree about having Katie get a job and she had filled out a few applications, but she is going away on a mission trip on June 25th for over a week and I thought it would be best if she didn't start work until after she came back.  It would be silly to get a job and then have to take 8 days off within the first couple of weeks.  So yes, she will be getting a job, and she wants one too.  She had a job before we moved and enjoyed buying all of her little extras with her own money. 

Betsy is really good with money. . .tight, I should say.  She was given $30.00 over a week ago and she still has $20. . .the other $10 she gave to Katie for gas.  Bless her heart.

Wes?  Well he's a different story and I can't even go into it.  Let's just say that he is in a downward spiral and he is too dumb to realize it.  He'll be 20 next week and he thinks he is living the good life.  He's living in a teeny-tiny house with 2 other boys.  They have crap for furniture and he has to share a bed with his best friend.  His truck isn't running and he is spending most of his paycheck each week on parts.  He catches rides where ever he goes.  They eat fast food for every meal because if they grocery shop then when all of their friends come over they will eat their food.  They have a bunch of friends come over every night.  So. . . .

Anyway, I have to work today and then I get my 3 day weekend.  Robert is getting close to being finished with the tomato harvest.  It has been a horrible spring for him.  June is not typically a rainy month in Florida, but this year we've had rain almost every day.  As a matter of fact, he started harvesting on Memorial Day and it rained every single day after that, until this week, and this week has been scorching hot.  Poor guy, he's so ready for vacation.  Me too.

I have Vacation Bible School all next week, then I have to sing in a big patriotic concert at my old church next weekend.  The girls will be gone on mission trip after, so it will be quiet around the house. . .YEA!  Then when they get back we are going to the FL Keys for a few days.  Then Robert wants to run to Texas real quick. (honestly, that's how he put it)  And on the 17th of July we are going to Steinhatchee, FL for 4 daysof scalloping.  We do this every year and it is great.  The kids start back to school the first week of August, so there's my summer in a nutshell!  I have a bunch to do before work today, so I'm gonna get going.  You all have a good Thursday!

Glad you came through the tropical storm okay.  Just read your Wednesday entry to my husband and we were both rolling -- break the window with a tractor wrench?!  We are sooo glad to know that our teenage son isn't the only one who gets those kinds of bright ideas.  But I'm glad Katie and her friend did finally get to the beach.  Have a good one!

hope katie has fun on her mission trip.  I hope she finds a job she will like when she comes back.  that was so sweet of Betsy to give Katie gas money!! Hopefully Wes will straighten his life out one day!  Sounds like you have a very busy summer  planned.  It all sounds like fun though.
