Hey, Hi, Hello

Hey, Hi, Hello!

Remember me.

I refuse to mention one more time how fast the summer zoomed. I mean I’ve already said it half a dozen times. Which is about how many times I posted this summer.

Life, my friends, is CRAZY BUSY!

I keep waiting for things to slow down so that I can have a few moments to catch up. However, things refuse to slow down. My calendar looks like a 2 year old went to town coloring. Only it isn’t coloring it is everything that is going on. Who knew four kids could keep you so busy. I have no clue how people with more manage to sleep.

Just when I am about to loose my mind with all the noise, clutter, and kid mess they have the nerve to go back to school. Leaving me sitting in a house that is eerily quiet. I’m talking spooky quiet. I’m pretty sure if I yelled the house would echo.

On one hand I am doing the happy dance that they are in school. On the other hand I’m feeling a bit lonely. However, I think I can handle the bit lonely if it means I can clean a room and it will stay that way most of the day.

In my typical rambling way I am just saying Hey! School is back in session, summer is gone to quick, I’m lonely, but I’m going to handle it.

I think.

Time to try to find the mythical bottom of the laundry basket.

OH! Do you have each kid's activities in a different colored Sharpie? I would so do that. Do you need my two year old to come help you with your calendaring? She would looooooove to do that.

The bottom of the laundry basket doesn't exist. The Leprechaun has put it in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

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...
