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.

Me, Myself and I said…
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...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

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...
