My Next 30 Years

In my next 30 years
I’m gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done
Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears
And I’ll do it better in my next 30 years

My next 30 years I’m gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I’m doing here, in my next 30 years

My last couple of days have been pretty quiet. Simple, sweet, Summer days, spent with my favorite people. My sister and Pj came by, the other morning. Pj loves the little jumper I have here, that hangs in our front entry to the family room. I also bought her a baby swing, to hang underneath our deck. It just needs hung up, this weekend. I think she’s going to love it!

Yesterday, Wyatt was over at a friend’s house. Mj and I went and did some shopping. She found some things for the Father’s Day gift she wants to make for Adam. I’ve already got mine for him. I got some things for my dad, too. We’re all going to his house, Sunday, to celebrate Father’s Day. Justin and Adam are going to bring some meat to grill. The kids and I are going to make the Oreo desert that Adam loves. My sister’s husband really likes it, too! He’s celebrating his very first Father’s Day, this year. ❤️

Last night, Jackie came over and hung out with me, while the boys went to the gym. It was a beautiful evening, outside. We all sat out back for awhile, after they got back from the gym.

I really am seeing changes in both Adam and Justin, since they’ve been working out and eating healthier. Adam’s lost about 13 pounds. Justin’s face is slimming down noticeably, too. I also appreciate the way it’s helped Adam to have more energy and he seems less stressed. It’s amazing all the benefits to be had, from taking care of our bodies.

We got the kids Summer passes to the indoor trampoline park. I’m going to bring them over there, tomorrow afternoon. While they jump awhile, I’m going to go to Jackie’s place. My sister is meeting us there, too. We’re going to help my sister make a couple little craft projects she’s been wanting to get done. Then, we’ll walk over to their swimming pool, and the kids will meet us there. It’s perfect, because Justin and Jackie’s complex is right behind the trampoline park. Their pool is just steps from the park’s entrance, so they can walk down to us, and swim awhile. Later, tomorrow evening, the boys will go to their work outs. Fridays are “ab day”, for them. Then, we’re all planning to hang out back, and play some games of cornhole. It’s been a couple weeks, since Jackie and I whooped their butts at that. 😉

Last night, as we were about to get in the shower, Adam asked me if I was ready for my spanking. I said, “Whaaat?! Why??” He replied, “Because you’ve been so good.” Obviously, he was teasing me. I really have done a pretty fantastic job, lately. I’ve kept up on all my responsibilities. I’ve been respectful. I haven’t “side stepped” any truths, to him. We’ve just had a lot of fun. Our son started to get an attitude, last night, after I called him back into the kitchen. He’d put his dishes and silverware into the sink, without rinsing them off, after supper. At first, he tried to tell me that wasn’t his, but I knew better. I intentionally gave him a blue plate, and Mj an orange one. His fork was also larger than hers. So, without a doubt, those were his dishes, and he couldn’t argue otherwise. That irritated him. He did scrub them off, but angrily threw them into the sink, and stomped off. I heard his door slam closed. Without a word between us, Adam got up from his chair, and went upstairs to talk with Wyatt. I don’t know what exactly was said, but awhile later, Wyatt came downstairs. He walked over to me, and told me he was sorry. I told him I really appreciated that, and gave him a hug. He got all teary eyed then, and hugged me back. When his daddy tells him he’s wrong for something, he listens. It helps me out so much, when Adam has my back like that.

I’ve been on a cleaning spree, today. I suppose I’ll get back to it. I already cleaned all the bathroom showers and tubs, sinks, mirrors, and floors. I put toilet cleaner in the bowls, so I need to go knock out that “super fun and exciting” chore.
