Today is the last day of school for children. My son is now a 6th grader. Yesterday they had a graduation for the 5th graders. My son wanted to dress up. They told him to dress up for this graduation, so I took him shopping. I just got him a button down shirt and it came with a clip on tie. I took it home and ironed it and told him to just wear it with his blue jeans. He wore the outfit the next morning. He was the only one in the whole class that dress up that much. He didn’t care, he liked it. There were a few girls who wore dresses. A couple of boys wore a button down shirt. Most of the kids wore shorts and a tank top or t-shirt. Some of the stuff looked like they pulled it out of a dirty clothes basket. The program lasted 2 hours. They gave out medals and awards. I am proud to say my son got called up for a medal for his grades. He got 8 A’s and one B. They gave out all the straight A students a medal and they gave all the A-B students a medal. He also got a honor certificate for best in Science class from his teacher. The principal even said he looked really nice. I am glad this school year is over and now it is time for some fun.
We bought a canoe at Sam’s Club today. We have a lot of things to go to this summer. Monday we are going to go to Myrtle Beach for a few days. I won’t take the canoe there because that is the ocean. There are a lot of lakes to go to later on. Then I will be sitting in the sun, paddeling the canoe. Jumping in the water and swimming and having fun.
I bought a new swimsuit today. K-mart has them onsale for half off. I hate trying on swimsuits. They look cute on the hanger but on me, they make me want to run and hide. When I paid for it, the clerk said “Did you find one OK?” I said “It does not matter, they all look awful on me. It makes me not want to buy one.” She said “Me too, I hate looking at myself in a swimsuit.” I looked at her, she was thin and looked nice, but she didn’t even like the way she looked in a swim suit.
