{Monday Monday....}

 

 

....Tuesday Tuesday and now its Wednesday ahhh....wow another week gone its crazy how fast things change when the sun comes out and we run all day long...from one thing to the next and some of the things we had time for slip off.....

 ..either way I'm still here holding it all together or at least pretending to;) No, life is good kids are crazy not wanting to listen or obey but we are learning lots of life lessons these days together...

Cannot believe there are like only 15 days left of school not complaining I'm about as sick of making lunches as the kids are of eating them..

so not ready to have a jr high man/child.....but he sure is a good kid and growing up SO fast seems like its speeding up as the months fly by....

not ready for long summer days of grouchy, fighting kids gotta find something for them to do to keep them busy 

we did get a season pool pass so we plan on using that:) 

i also

Signed us up for swim lessons, basketball camp for K, 5k's and tennis lesson for L ....on top of that through in a trade show and 20th school reunion planning along with some camping and boating and my july getaway {D's meetings;) my retreat;) 

It's going to be a great summer:)

July 1st is coming soon time to plan a party..... get my garden planted 

and K2's 5th birthday planned NOW that I can't believe...... he's going to be!! 5!!! how did that happen and going into kindergarten...... 

I will so so miss my sidekick:(( he is such a fun boy!

 SO

I suppose I've got to find some new hobbies or I'll be feeling pretty lonely:( Some days I already wonder whats next 

we've kind of hit a different stage in life.... kids in school..... close to turning 40 .....and so busy with all things children which I love....... but along the way I need to find what makes me feel important and useful and needed too......... does that make sense?? 

I have a very, very, busy husband who has no spare time and I do the best I can around here.  But honestly some days are hard I feel like a burnt out...tired, single mom sometimes, but I do know there are definite blessings associated with all D has to do and since i love and support him I do the very best I can at holding the fort down and keeping things rolling:) here:)

 

 Ms. L is growing like a weed and wanting to be a big girl and we kinda clash on that sometimes;) So trying to find a good middle ground and some responsibility and accountability, and helping to build a stronger self confidant pretty little lady:)

While the boys were at father and sons camp L and I had a girls night it was super fun:) 

LIFE eh. You never know.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Love this article.  

 

I can do all I can in my home to help my children learn and gain deep testimonies and respect for others with strong traditional morals to remember the basics of life..... before everything and the world tries to tell them otherwise.  

We live in a backwards, disturbing world where evil is good and anything good, Christian based is deemed as old fashioned or that we're not tolerant or with the times, or its discriminating to think one way yet not the other way around makes no sense. Sad to watch daily freedoms, rights and good decisions be taken away.

but I can make my home an "old fashioned" valued haven.

....So many of us make a great fuss of matters of small consequence. We are so easily offended. Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way.”
― Gordon B. Hinckley

My next random thought is something that is driving the world into the ground everybody is obsessed with being offended over remarks, actions someones statement and everybody has a public outcry its ridiculous CHOSE TO NOT BE OFFENDED  

A man wears an Indian {yes I said Indian if that offends you get over it!}  head dress on the front cover of a popular magazine and Indians cry outrage and are offended {or whatever it may be}

 ......seriously people get over it...

we don't have to all agree on the same things we don't have to have rules and laws set in place that forbid me to have an opinion..... why is your freedom of speech aloud.......... but mine isn't............ thats all kinds of crazy a never ending cycle of crazy.... 

WALKING out your door you can be offended at every turn if you let it and the world is letting it happen over and over everyday...its pathetic really things that pass as normal or fined for having an opinion drives me mad! 

Give me the pioneer days any day!! 

This mess we've created is out of hand, destructive and disturbing.

 "Remember who you are, and who you ought to be."

I'm in a blogging funk .....I'm not a popular blogger ......just real life stuff and kids stuff I want to remember .... I suppose you've heard my thoughts, my feelings on lots of different topics and I guess nobody really comments on blogs anymore so it feels like nobody reads anymore ... 

so any ideas what would you like to see more of??
