Fireworks and Farms

Happy Sabbath

I'm thankful to be home. My son and parents leave for the vacation home this evening and I'm looking forward to break, at least for a week. I expect to join them not tomorrow but the following Sunday.  I am thankful for a beautiful July 4th. I thought about going roller skating but I was tired and dealing with women's issues so I decided to forgo it. I started hearing fireworks and since I was off the full day I decided to go out with my son to ride around my neighborhood and hunt for fireworks.  I was able to stay close to my house and enjoy many firework displays while on an elementary school swing set. I'm glad I didn't allow my son to prevent me from going to this nor Sight and sound theatre yesterday. I saw the show Daniel and it was beautiful.  When I arrived back home I purchased the same seats for Noah which will be playing next year. This is going to be a summer time tradition now and I have to make sure I book a year out or else, we can't get the best seats.  I purchased the dvds David and Jesus and intend to watch them when my son is away. I enjoyed seeing the farms and countryside.  The beautiful horses, cattle and other animals as I traveled to get to the show. My son had no interest in the landscape or animals and I tried not to allow his attitude to ruin my experience being in Lancaster.

My son almost caused another house fire yesterday before we left out. He was disobedient during the show and to top it off, he put himself in a dangerous position when I was driving us home so he is no longer permitted to sit in the front seat. He reclined the chair all the way and stood up (sear bely was on his thighs and not protecting him. He was doing this to show off for what ever reason and I snapped on him because I was on one of the most dangerous highways in the area and we all were going at a high rate of speed. One person cut me off almost causing me to crash and I had to lay on the horn which is something I never do.

Then today he went to church and was disobedient..I only allow him to bring his computer for Bible related activities or to work on Christian projects with the other children.  I warned him that if he continued to misbehave he would not be taking his computer on the trip to the vacation house...and it's a very VERY long ride down there with nearly nothing to do. He chose to play video games and try to lead other children astray so he is not bringing it there.  I "might" bring it when I come.

I do want to do school work with him so ....I actually may just do it with him using my phone. Why should I bring the computer? I don't even want to bring mine. I am charging his Nintendo switch. If he continues to do poorly he won't even have that.

I am going to get something to eat and take my nap for this evening as I have to go to work. I hope thatvi can get my suv repaired next week. I put alot of money into repairs and still don't have AC. If they give me another ridiculous number then I will just become one with the summer and forget about any more work with this car. I need a newer vehicle and I want to pay for it in cash.  

I'm signing off. God is good. Thank you that I live in such an area I can enjoy fireworks and so much more.  Thank you for providing for me and keeping us safe.
