I've been trying to get back to blogging every day. Some days the ideas flow so well I write them down for inspiration on the days I can't think of anything to say. I know, ME...without something to say? Well, at least nothing I think any of you would be interested in. Today I just have bits and pieces for ya all....
I got a call from the boy's doctor's office today. Both boys went for well-child visits last week - Pete was due because of his birthday and Steve needed to go so she would sign off a medical release for Steve to go to camp this summer for other kids with similar health issues. I had gotten a letter from Pete's school a couple weeks before that he was due for 3 immunizations to bring him up to date for middle school. When the doc checked what was needed, he had had one of them already, school just made a mistake. Another he COULD have according to the accelerated due date, but really was not due until 2014. The last was for meningitis (sp?) which is usually a "before you go to college" shot, although it's becomming reccomended for high school, but not required. The doc would check into this, maybe Indiana requirements are different and she operates out of Michigan. So the office says that he does need 2 shots, Indiana requires these for middle school. Pete HATES shots, I will have to take him to get them in about a week and a half. Steve is exempt from these new rules and gets to skate on not gettting them since the rules have just changed for this year.
Mike made the boys very happy over the holiday weekend. He hooked up the big, flat screen TV, and bought "Avitar" from Pay Per View and we spent Sunday night watching it. Funny, Mike wanted to take the boys to the theater to see it and they were not interested. Now they are raving about how good it was. I saw it and thought that the story line is not so original. It's like "Dances With Wolves" in space. Without the benifit of getting to look at Kevin Costner. Military man goes on a mission, man goes to live alone with the natives, man falls in love with a native, man marries native, military comes back into the picture and fights against man and natives, man gives up life as he's known it to stay with the natives. There was even the hunt scene, only instead of hunting Buffalo with the braves, it was a drangon like thing to ride with the other men of the tribe. It was a good movie-afterall, Dances With Wolves is one of my favorites- not just the big original story I anticipated.
The boys only have a few more days of school. I have picked up a few things to do for car trips - it sure was easier when they were little and a $1 bag of plastic animals and a coloring book would amuse them for a while. We have a tip to Macinaw planned for the summer and that is about a 6 hour car trip each way. Pulling the camper will probably make it take longer. Plus there is a long drive to take Steve to camp this summer - maybe there will be a grandparent available for Pete to stay with for that drive.
