Summer is Here!

Hi again everyone!
Well, aside from being verrrrry tired and frustrated with my job search....the summer is going ok. Matt has been enjoying his time at NEDSRA camp. Not one incident!!! Not one! Ok, except for the fact that he's grounded right now:( But, that's a whole other story. He's enjoying his days at camp, where he swims, does crafts, plays games and goes for walks, field trips, etc. He just loves it. He actually helps out the other campers, which has endeared him to the counselors:). I believe he might be a counselor in training!:)
The heat wave finally left Chicago yesterday and today is comfortable. I have been too busy to bead much and am struggling to find time to do anything but worry about job hunting. There is not a lot of choices even though I have alot of skills. Anyways, I have been exploring the freelancing option again and am trying to do some mystery shopping on the side. I have decided that I will be looking for part time work and maybe taking in some babysitting on the side, as that's what I need most, a babysitter, even though he's not a baby anymore. And given that he likes to help out with the younger kids that we know, maybe there's a plus side to all of this!:) I have a built in helper!
Matt actually finished the school year out very well. 4 A's and 2 B+'s! Yeah. He also got an award for Most Improved Behavior! We are very proud of him. We treated him to lunch at Ruby Tuesday's, yum!
In any case, I made off with tons of stuff from Joanne Fabrics during their bead sale last week. I am trying out some simple projects using barettes, sticky tape and seed beads. It came out rather well. I even invested in a wire "ThingamaJig" to make wire shapes. I haven't done any real projects with it yet. I am hoping that things will settle down soon and I can get my mind back on my beading. I have tried using a Knitting Machine, too, but that is not working out so well. I have tried Cross Stitch and Crochetting, but not so good at that. So, I am going to stick to what I know. Beading!
Also, for the Scifi buffs....Stargate SG-1 is OVER!!! But, Atlantis will be back in September, along with Smallville, YEAH!! And Supergirl is coming people! I can't wait. Doctor Who will be back on SciFi next Friday night for it's new season, so I am eagerly awaiting that, too.
Well, I am off to watch my birds fight over my hubbie. It's soooo funny to watch a little twit parakeet and a big Cockateil fighting over him. You'd have to be here.:)
Bye all, Happy Beading!
