I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I did close to nothing - which is okay with me! It is getting crazy hot here again and I'm not loving anything about it. Today it's supposed to hit 90° F! Ugly.. just ugly.
The Demon is graduating 8th grade next week and we're both excited about no school for the next 3 months. Last week, we were going through a rough patch here at Casa de la Raisingkane. It was like a switch was flipped on my well behaved, respectful 14 year old and the lying, mean, disrespectful teen was loud and in charge. After a couple of bad days we agreed on a household contract. After we typed that up (I plan to print the contract and find a frame and convenient place to display said contract!) we also thought it was a good time to set up a 2013 Summer Bucketlist. I wanted to share that here to hold us accountable. Here we go!
01. The Demon ride DiamondBack!
02. Go to Cincinnati Museum Center @ least once.
03. Go on more bike rides around town.
04. Go canoeing at Winton Woods.
06. Go on at least two day trips.
07. Read 3 books.
08. Go to the Root Beer Stand.
09. Spend a day downtown Cincinnati.
10. Explore local parks.
11. Visit one other local museum.
12. Visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
I love this list! It was nice sitting down with him and hearing the excitement about all the activities that he chose. I have to be honest, I am definitely more excited about some of the ideas than others. I'm not too thrilled about the idea of getting out on a canoe. Not thrilled at.all...but I hope to fight through my fears and spend that time with him for him.
I wanted to end this blog with a huge thank you to my friends for being super supportive of me after my last blog entry. I have received so much positive feedback and love - both online and in person. It wasn't an easy decision but I feel a weight has been lifted.
I am currently in a very good place in my life and I can honestly say I am happy.
