summer is here

Well, the craziness has started again. I was in Montreal last week and I am back today, not to return till Saturday, and guess what - JJ leaves for France tonight! Thank goodness my mother still loves me and has no objections to taking the kids overnight for a couple of evenings.

Still no progress on the post floor restauration, but supposedly I will be getting a check and will be able to move forward with the contractor. I am really excited about getting my house back and having the basement. When the weather is yucky, there is no place for the kids to go, except to get in my face. I am longing for my life back, but then again, I am not home much to suffer.

JJ is going to the winery so we'll get a report of how the appartment updates are going. We are excited, well at least I am excited about having him tell me what it looks like and kind of imagining myself being there, looking out the windows on the view. I know that I will be going in August, so I should just calm down and let things come to me, but we all know that patience has never, ever been my strong point.

My darling husband returns on the 26th of June, unfortunately, I leave that same day and won't be back until the 29th - what a month! Hopefully the kids are going to be ok and not play on our sympathies too much. They are busy with swimming and tennis and are already bronzed and healthy looking. Even Charlotte is tanned, and she is only allowed outside for practice because of failing science. We are still having a very difficult time with her, but I assume that this too shall pass.

So that is today's update. I have had huge stress in the last few days because we are starting Bosch production for the 500hp Corvette. The customer is here and we are doing the run@rate to ensure that we can make enough parts per year, but last night I thought that we were going to have to cancel the entire thing. The team kept planning a solution that "in theory" was supposed to improve the conditions, when applied, made the condition worse. When we finally fixed all the issues, the mold broke. I felt like crying! But all was fixed and up and running by this morning. I don't know if we actually passed all the criteria, but we certainly are a lot closer than we were last night.

I am looking forward to putting this behind me and getting home to the kids and relaxing. Be safe everyone.
