A Laptop May Save This Blog

Happy Mother's Day! My complete inability to stay in the house has driven me outdoors with the laptop. Ancient as this laptop may be I am thrilled to be able to sit on the porch, enjoy listening to the children play, soak up some sun, and type a way.


I feel as if I am neglecting my little blog. Which I'm sure annoys no one but myself but I'm still annoyed that I can't spend 20 minutes at the computer. That is I can't spend 20 minuets at the computer without feeling like I need to be outside. So I go outside and accomplish the ever important task of counting how many seedlings are popping up.


I assure you it is a very important task. If I don't do it then Brent will do it and he may not give me a full report.


I can sense your jealousy.


School is wrapping up and we have been busy and I have a whole bunch of pictures to share, from soccer, to school musicals, to an orchestra concert. Oh wait, I have video of that one. I'm sure you can't wait to listen to 350 first year orchestra students perform.


Again with the jealousy.


I continue to peddle away at my bike I can't really say for sure how many miles I will accomplish on June 6th. I know that I will finish 60, I'm almost positive that I will finish 80, and I have a sneaky feeling if all the stars align properly I may finish 104. Which truthfully this whole journey to this bike ride has taught me so much about myself that I will be happy with whatever I end up doing.


It is fun to discover you love something that you were sure you hated. :)


This week is going to be a very busy week. I know, I know, that is what I always say. I need new material. This week is a 70 mile bike ride. Should be lots and lots of fun. S. is going to be swimming her first long course meet of the season. She is swimming a 100 free and tells me she is going to break a minute. Send your prayers and positive thoughts to Logan Friday night.


The boys are headed to the father son camp out this weekend and AYSO soccer will end on Saturday. So full of tears. S. has a few more games left and then she will be hanging up her soccer cleats. More on that later. I've rambled long enough and I'm sure you have more important things to do today.


Hopefully, everyone is having an awesome Mother's Day. I have to admit as far as Mother's Day is concerned this has been one of the best. :)

I missed you and your posting! However, I do understand the love for flowers. Feel free to enjoy the sun... we are nearly hot enough to start cursing the heat.

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...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
