I took Tea to a bar last night to watch her boyfriend play in his band (I swear, only in Wisconsin can you take a 13 year old to a bar). I was so uncomfortable there! I used to be quite the bar fly, and it's only too obvious now that I no longer belong there unless I have Nick with me. I feel like my weight makes me incredibly unattractive, and I was so uncomfortable that I kept stuffing my face with cheese curds. I was telling myself that I'm a compulsive overeater and to stop it, but I just couldn't. I was chatting with this one guy, who was kind of a prick (he really thought a lot of himself), and this other guy bought me a drink (but he mysteriously disappeared). It was really random. But Tea really had a good time, and she was really good about leaving when I told her that it was time to go. We're going to see the band again at Pea Soup Days, which is our local carnival/celebration. That's coming up in 2 weeks.

Bryan is passing English, so we're on track for graduation. It's supposed to rain on Saturday, so it looks as though I'll be having the grad party inside of the house. Nick said that he'd get the garage cleaned out so that we can use that to hang out in as well. I really hope the weather forecast changes by then. I'd love a nice day where people can be outside, we can have a fire, and most importantly, the dogs won't be cooped up! I have so much cleaning to do over this next week.

I did end up shampooing the living room carpet, and I took all of Matthew's toys that were downstairs and put them up in the attic. The Little People toys that I had up in the attic I brought back downstairs today. Matthew's been playing with them all today. I love doing toy rotation. I think I'm only going to have one toy box downstairs at a time. It's less to clean up, and it keeps Matthew more entertained because he's not overwhelmed by too many toys.

School ends this week, then there's a week off, and then summer school starts. Matthew is the only one going to summer school this year. He'll go Monday through Thursday (I believe) from 8 to noon. He'll ride the bus. Now I'm going to have to change his sleep schedule so that he's going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. Right now he's staying up til 10 or later and sleeping until 9 or later.
