Happy Friday! So glad it's almost the weekend. I have been so sick with allergies this week and I am just over it. While I am still not feeling well, I am ready to get the Labor day weekend started. It's one of my favorite weekends of the year because we travel to the hill country for some camping in Mason, TX. This is the same place that we also visit at Memorial Day! We always have the best time and my boy can run around and just be a boy. Mason, TX will forever hold a special place in my heart. Counting down the minutes until 4:00pm so we can get on the road! Until then, a little Five on Friday and what we've been up to this week.

I know I've posted about Karate here and there, but haven't officially posted about it. And because this is our family scrapbook... Mason started Karate on Wednesday, July 27th after years of begging us to do so. He now has 9 classes under his belt and knows numerous kicks and punches. He also knows his first Kata (Ki Cho) which means Foundation. He has done so well and puts so much effort into each class. Nathan and I have enjoyed watching him.

Happy Friday!! While I am happy that it's the weekend I am bummed another sweet summer week has passed. Long live summer! I refuse to believe that school starts back on the 22nd. But really. We've had a pretty good and not-so-eventful week around here. Below is a little of what we've been u to.

So, on Tuesday I got an email that my blog domain will not be renewed come August 15th because of payment issues. I figured it's because I had gotten a new debit card since I last updated payment info. No big deal, right? Or so I thought! I couldn't get logged in to my admin panel and it kept telling me that I needed a Google for Work account. I would try to set up one and then it would start me over with the process again! It was so frustrating! I emailed customer service and they called me within 2 hours! I was so impressed. He helped me login and update my payment info in less than 5 minutes. I was so fearful of losing the blog I had since 2009! But all is back in business and we're good! Or so I pray. So if my blog doesn't load on August 15th then I take back all the praises of google support. ha.

I didn't go to karate with Nathan and Mason on Monday. I was having the Monday-iest of Mondays and was feeling so overwhelmed. My co-worker called in sick {after being out all last week}, work was crazy, my house was a wreck, and I hadn't even showered all day. So I stayed home. I got my house cleaned, got a couple loads of laundry done, got the dishes done, picked up toys, etc. But then Nate gets home and tells me that Mason had one of his best classes yet and that he did so dang well. But, of course. You can bet I was ready to go the next day!

We are heading out for another weekend river adventure! Trying to pack as much as we can into these summer days. We have plans of going canoeing/kayaking, fishing, hiking, maybe ride a train, etc. The last time we went to Beaver's Bend it was cold and rainy and so much of the park was flooded. They've done some renovations and we can't wait to check it all out.

I confess...
...the only times I have left the house this week were for karate on Mon & Wednesday. And that was for an hour each. I had pajamas on up until about 30 minutes before we left and then put them right back on after! This week has left me exhausted and I just want to be on the couch catching up on shows! I know that come weekend I will be ready to get on up out of here!
...before I left for vacation I drafted and scheduled so many posts so that the blog wasn't quiet while we were gone. Now I have only 3 drafted posts left. It felt so much better to have posts scheduled and not scrambling to get one done the day off. I have tons of ideas and things I need to blog about, but...time. One day I will be caught up again. One day.
...Mason's Nana is taking him to the movies today to see Ghostbusters. I am so jealous! But, I'm excited for him to spend time with her.
...I'm totally dependent on Diet Dr. Pepper again. Ugh. I blame it on the events of the last few weeks.
...We have a back to school fair on Saturday at the High School! I'm half looking forward to it and half dreading it. The nerd in me loves all things back to school, but the mother in me isn't ready for her baby to go back to school.
...At least we have a fun adventure planned for after the back to school fair to remind me that we still have some summer left to live!
...I'm enjoying watching Mason do karate so very much! I mean, how cute is he? (and how fun is the Boomerang app?)
