Is it Over Yet?

This time of the year there never seems to be enough hours in the day.

Which is really ironic considering there are more daylight hours. The sun comes up around 6 and sets somewhere around 9.

Soccer is almost wrapped up. The boys finished on Saturday.

Before their games they were at the father and son camp out. They had a blast and love to go camping with all the men.

S. has a couple games left and she is officially done with soccer. She is very sad to leave her team. However, she decided that she had to much going on and she was missing to many days of swim. She participated in her first long course meet on Friday. We all love long course because it means being outside and enjoying the summer.

(Long Course = 50meter pool (usually outdoors), Short Course =25yard pool (usually indoors))

We have finally completed planting. To tell the honest truth I was getting a little sick of it. This year we added two more planting beds, added a planted hedge to the yard and expanded a third bed. We planted and planted and planted and planted.

Now that it is all done I would never admit to hating all the planting. All though there were times that it seemed we would never finish. Saturday we finished up and mulched everything. Just in time since the temperatures took a serious jump up.

Brent is complaining that it is to warm and even has a headache from the heat. Me I am happy as a clam enjoying the warm. Funny that he is the one from Bakersfield and the heat is bothering him. I hear that it is in the 100's already and we aren't even to 85 yet.

With all the planting, biking and end of schooling I am exhausted. Thank goodness it is a long weekend maybe I can find my creative mo jo somewhere.

Hope you have a fantastic Memorial weekend. Grill a hamburger for me.

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...
