wind, wind go away but bring some rain anyway

-
The wind was pretty relentless yesterday. We have two swimming pools, only one set up of course, but that one was above ground and suffered at the will of the wind. I had to put water into the pool to try to offset the risk of it blowing over. This was not what I wanted to do but it will be okay. The pool itself is now four feet north of its original position. Once I had what I thought was enough water in it to keep it on the ground I started thinking perhaps I should actually take it down this tear and move it into the larger pool. the larger pool is 24' around and could easily fit the 20' pool inside of it. This would protect the smaller pool the rest of the season. My original thought was to empty clean and sell the smaller pool and replace the larger pools liner. Then I thought well this one is up already, and I could use it this season, get rid of it at the end of the season and hopefully, already having purchased and installed the liner into the older pool, drain the smaller pool into it therefore saving the water. Also, there was a pipedream of having the larger pool's deck built and the framework for the enclosure finished.

I have a lot of pipedreams.

I learned a valuable lesson this week. I learned that I was horribly rude and mean to a friend a very long time ago. Time does not matter. I feel horrible and the feelings that I had in the past that this was a friend that I did not deserve; I realize now I truly do not deserve this friend. Obviously, I still do not deserve to have this friend. I am mortified that I treated anyone this way. There is a lot of lessons that I have learned this week and a lot more that I need to learn. For instance, how do you ever apologize for the mistakes made in the past, especially such horrible ones, so they are not repeated in the present or even in the future? I do know I DO NOT EVER want to treat anyone that way again.

Still not done with the planting bed. Still just processing all the changes that have happened this month.  Still in shock that I have a friend.

 Hello June, it promised to be a busy month, and it has been. It started with court on the 3rd of the month. We haven't heard anything in regard to that. The 6th of the month brought the teen and I to Arlington Texas for a concert of her choosing. We had a good time and a rapid round trip.  getting ready for concert waiting for the rest of the crowd the young mom that we hung out with on the bus one of the posters she made that we had to toss she planned to take her favorite water cup in but didn't The 11th was another trip with a party on the 14th. A great time was had by all. The return trip was better travel time than the get to the party trip. It was sprinkled with not so good things. In Iowa we witnessed and stopped the car fast enough to at least not become part of a semi-truck versus pickup truck accident. People were not very considerate behind us. I barely got over to the shoulder on the right with the collision in the left lane, and the traffic shot up through the mi...

Good morning blog it is the end of the week and homeschooling is in full swing. Both girls are now doing it full time. The older teen is definitely more invested in finishing the work. The younger is still resistive for the most part. However, she is a lot less resistive to this than PS. So, onward we go. Keeping up with the four hours is the hardest part, I forget to write down what we did or maybe I procrastinate and then forget. Either way I have to find the book that was my "tool" to keep track of things, but I have buried it under something. I got up early to pack coolers for the trip to Oklahoma and have been running in circles since. DH had planned to head out by himself and with some of the forgetfulness that has occurred this week it was not what I wanted to happen. In the end he left with the boys following him in the Audi.  I will take care of the animals and kids and try to get done what needs to be done in the meantime. There was a lot more room in the horse trai...

Only one week left of June

 One week left and still so many things on the schedule. Today we picked up the items that DH purchased at the auction. The kids really enjoyed the gator-type vehicle that he purchased. They each got to drive it around the yard. They both did a surprisingly good job for the first time on such a vehicle. The weather today was especially nice, not too hot and not too cold. The baby goose is getting her feathers in quite nicely and will soon be ready to release to a group of her own kind. In the wild she would remain with her parents for more than a year. She may be able to find a flock and fit right in if she can fly and join them sooner rather than later.  I had to cancel two appointments for, today to accommodate the vehicle pick up and the new teen's mission to adopt a reptile. Mission accomplished after four choice changes in the store. Instead of a Pac-Man frog, or an Anole, or a Bahama Anole, she came home with a Leopard Gecko. Hoping I got the reptile names correct, pleas...
