Schools Out! Schools Out! Hip Hip Schools Out!

As previously stated I am so excited that school is finally out.  It is going to be a nice change of pace and I am very much looking forward to the change.  Of course it does mean I have to go back to work.  But, I really can't complain because I am just working through June and then I get the rest of the summer off.   I only work twelve hours a week so it doesn't cramp the summer plans to much. Monday is already packed full of summer fun.  I go back to work to teach all those little kids to swim.  I just love when the college kids come back to the pool in the summer because that means they get the big kids and I get the three year olds.  Who you just have to love because they worship you even as you are dunking them in the water. 

S. is starting tennis lessons which she is way excited about.  She has been warned though that this is a summer only thing and I don't care how much she likes it she will not be on a team, she will not compete, it will end. 


Ok, yes a little harsh but she is already involved in way to much.  I can't keep up and she is already making noise about student body president next year and orchestra and hey mom what if..... Ahh does she realize there is only one of me to get her everywhere she wants to be. 


Speaking of which she competed in a swim meet last night and this morning she did awesome.  Of course (I know shut up already) she qualified for a few more state events which makes her happy.  She also swam the 400 IM for the first time and qualified for state all at once. So in addition to tennis lessons on Monday she has a student counsel end of the year party and soccer practice. 




S. doing the Breast Stroke!

Al is looking forward to Monday because she is going to work with mom and take two swim lessons.  She is hoping she can make it through all the levels this summer and join the swim team with the other kids. 


A. has swim team practice and H. has t-ball.  The coolest part of it al NO SCHOOL!! Ok I am acting like a kid but with all the running to and fro I will actually get to spend a few minutes with my kids and they get to spend time with me because they love me.  I try to never let them forget this!



Yay Summer, Can't wait to hear what exciting plans you all have.  Hopefully everyone has a great summer.


Oh hah, almost forgot Brent's and mine 13 year anniversary is on Monday also.  Go figure 13 years how can I even be old enough to be married for 13 years.  I must have added wrong.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...
