Clouds in My Coffee

Hi y'all!

Happy Thursday to ya! It's a beatiful sunny morning here today. I think the boys and I are going to do a little swimming later on. It's supposed to be really hot today.

Austin finally came home from his friend's house. He stayed six nights with him and his friend stayed one night with us. They really had a great time. I know that they wanted to spend some time together because school will be starting soon and Dallas goes to a different school. Naturally they don't see each other that much when school is in session. My sister called me yesterday and proceeded to tell me that I was wrong for letting Austin stay over there that long. She said that I should be spending time with him while he is out of school. I tried explaining to her that he has done nothing but play ball all summer and I thought he had earned to spend a few days with a friend. Before he went to Dallas', I was spending a lot of time with him....every day in fact. I would spend all day with him before I went to work in the afternoons. We would go out to eat lunch, go swimming, etc. Was I really wrong to let him stay over there for so long? Am I a bad mother for doing so? My sister really made me feel bad for what she said to me, and now I think I am doubting my maternal abilities. Maybe I am just reading too far into it, but she hurt my feelings.

Well, I am off to visit my reads for the day. I hope you all have a super day!
