We had a hot dog luncheon after church on Sunday, July 24, but I didn't get to go because I went to the Turkey Town Decoration with daddy for the second year in a row.
This year, Darlene came with us too.
We also went to Matasia's birthday party at Brad's on Sunday. 😁
She turned the BIG 10 this year. A whole decade of being a great aunt.
Monday, July 25 was the official start to 2016-2017 school year. As if having our youngest child begin high school today was not stressful enough, I inflicted additional stress on myself to drive Devin's car (without him knowing) to the auto trim shop to have his illegal window tint removed.
Man-o-man...was he ever mad at me! IRATE would be a better term. When he woke up and seen that his car was not in the driveway, he dialed me right up. When I told him the plan, he only got more perturbed. Truth is..sometimes "parents have to do - what parents have to do".
On Tuesday, July 26, Devin got up for work and drove my car. It was an attempt at rebellion, but I didn't mind. I would be upset too if someone took my car and altered it without my consent. I understand his anger. 😠
To be honest, it is nice to see some emotion come from him. He is always so laid back and quiet, that I was beginning to wonder if he cared about anything....turns out he does.
Anyway, I drove the "box Chevy" to work...and received a couple of compliments on the way.
I even had someone ask me how much I would take for it. I finally know what it feels like to be "Cool".
After work, I took Brooke school shopping (Round 2). For some reason it never really ends. This time, Mary went with us and we hit up a few boutique's.
We had dinner at Logan's that night and Mary spent the night.
Wednesday, July 27 was the first full day of school.
I got my hair cut short again and we finished the day with dinner at Cracker Barrel after church.
On Thursday, July 28, we went to dinner with Darlene, Gary, Stacia and the boys at O'Charley's for
her birthday.
Stroker had the day off to sleep in on Friday, July 29. He deserves a day to sleep in and rest. He works non-stop every day. If not in the warehouse, then he is working at something here at home. I'm glad he gets a break today, not that he will rest...I'm sure he will find stuff to do all day.
We both took naps on Saturday, July 30. Hey...I deserve to rest too :) I picked up Bojangles for dinner and called it a day.
Speaking of haircuts...Devin has stopped getting them 😲
Oh...and he doesn't like when I try to sneak a photo.
I practiced my electrician and HVAC skills on Sunday, July 31 after church. I installed a new thermostat at moms. Bless her heart, she had punched the buttons completely out of her other one.
and just like that...July 2016 was gone forever 😥
