SUMMERTIME!!!!

It has been a while since I have written anything here, and I really should visit more often because I usually feel better even though I know no one else is reading this.

We are more than halfway through summer break and I am bored out of my mind. Being single is much harder than I anticipated. When you are with someone, whether it be a spouse or significant other, you always have someone to talk to and to be with. Even times where you are just together doing nothing are good, because you are together. Times like this summer are when I really miss companionship. I'll be honest, we haven't done much this summer. We have spent some time down at the shore as I have a friend who owns a beach pad and is very generous in inviting us down. We have done a couple day trips to the beach too. But other than that, there has been nothing. I feel like my daughter is being ripped off, but she is (and says she is) perfectly happy hanging in the house all day playing on the computer and doing her drawings (she is very good at animation). I am arranging a trip to a water park and have asked a whole bunch of people if they would like to go and bring their kids, with the hopes that at least one will be able to come. K. loves water parks and amusement parks,but I hate them. I have taken her to water parks and she just goes off by herself and I sit there and wait til she is done. Not to mention, the cost to do anything these days is expensive. The water park will cost me $66 just for the two of us to get in, so it will easily be $100-$150 day. I can't do that all the time.

This week, I am trying to get out of my funk by doing dinner with friends. K. and I went out Friday with a teacher friend of mine, last night we went to a steakhouse, and tomorrow night I am going out with the girls for dinner and a movie.....all while I am earning no money this summer.....which has also got me down a little. Sometimes I guess it is worth it.
