Time...my time, more specifically....where in the world does it go?! I do not work outside of the home, so I don't have that excuse...my boys are not babies, so I don't have that excuse...I am not in school, so I don't have that excuse---sheesh!
So, since my last update....life has definitely not slowed down! As the school year winds down, it seems to only be getting busier! I have to laugh, the other day I was trying to coordinate with my sis and b.i.l. when to get new brakes on the Army, and for the life of me, I didn't have a spare evening to get the vehicle to him! Then my sis says, well at least once the boys are out of school for the summer that will free up some time. At the time I totally agreed, but then I sat down and started thinking about all of the plans we have for summer already....and I started to wonder if life really will ever s l o w d o w n!
So, what are we up to right now and what do we have in the works? Well.....the boys both started baseball last week...that will last until the middle of July. Both boys are signed up for a 4 day wrestling camp in June, Kid's college toward the end of July, Gabe has signed up for a Strength and Agility Program through Augusta High that will last all summer, there are a couple of plays we would like to go to at the Children's Theatre, vacationing in Chicago the last week of June, VBS the 3rd week of June and this morning our bible study group decided we would give a summer study a whirl....and at some point I would like to head to Dallas for a long weekend to hang with my Aunt and Uncle. And, all of that has to be worked in around the humongous garden and yard that seems to always need mowed! Whew, I'm tired!
Complain, complain....I know I do this to myself! I would hate to get bored!
So, that is what is in the works....lately, we have been accomplishing stuff around the house! We have planted more veggies in the garden along with a pear, apple, cherry and plum tree and some flowers! Shawn finished my picnic table and we have been enjoying every meal we can outside! After dinner most every night, we have been practicing baseball without the fear of losing a ball over the fence or putting out a neighbor's window.....yes, definitely a perk to living in the country! Both boys have improved tremendously! And, we spent the last couple of weekends in Fredonia celebrating Easter! Shawn has been working, but thankfully had 2 weekends off in a row....definitely a plus having him around! Gabe has finished up with his testing in school and now seems to be coasting along to the end of the school year! Grady has been doing end of the year testing as well and managed to write his numbers to 360 last week....he assured us he could have gone much further, but Mrs. Nusz told him that was plenty far....she really only needed him to write to 100! We are very proud of both of the boys! I am having a hard time believing that next year I will have a 5th grader! Oh My Goodness...you know what that means...in just over a year....If all goes as planned!.....I will have a MIDDLE SCHOOLER!!! What in the stink....how can that be?!
Alright, I've picked myself up off the ground.....so, where in the world does time go...heck, I don't have a clue....but, if you find any extra hours or for that matter years laying around, they are probably mine...go ahead and FedEx them back...as you can see I am in dire need of them!
Happy Day Everyone!
