Quick Update

June 2nd, 2006 at 03:34 pm

My daughter is not going to camp after all. Her buddy is now not going at all. Her family is going on a very long trip for most of June and part of July. her mom decided it was too much family overload.....so camp is cancelled. My daughter will not go alone....so I will THANKFULLY get a full refund of my money.
We decided we will do next summer and all of us will communciate better and make it happen then. So no harm done.

I have to clean up the house today--it is sorry mess....I will admit it here in the blog world. My home-keeping got overwhelmed this week. I was overwhelmed and so were my kids...so no one got chores done and the ship fell apart a bit!!! Just way too much going on...too much of everythng....too many end of year school BIG projects that needed mom's help...too many little forest fires to put out. Hopefully we will get her back in tip top shape here soon!

Kids are at Dad's tonight....so I am planning on getting it all done by 6pm tonight and then RELAXING!

I know I have to clean the fridge and organize all over the place it seems.....and get grocery shopping BADLY!!!!!!!! I have been neglectful.
So time to load up for the weekend.

I am behind on laundry too----my kids wear uniforms to school but they are now in dress down mode. They earned it thru some different challenges so they get to wear shorts and tees. I love uniforms. Ours is actually a dress code. So they don't look like exactly the same...but the kids at school look fresh and clean and crisp. I like the look and the hassles are non-existent. Now we are about ready to put the school clothes away for good till September. I am feeling kinda melancholy.....my children are growing up so fast. They have been my life and I can see how they slowly are maturing and needing me a little less each year. Even my little firecracker 7 yr old...she has grown so quickly..it seems like yesterday we were flying home on the airplane from Guatemala! She was 6 months old sucking on a bottle! Now she is just a fireball of personality and style! Time flies....

The kids get excited to get promoted to the next grade....it is hard for me. I wish I could freeze time for a bit....or maybe press the rewind button. I have to keep remembering that is my job--to give them wings to fly out of the nest....but they will never fly out of heart....they are forever knitted into my soul. That is a promise we have...to be knitted forever.I have to try to remember that when I am picking up smelly soccer socks
and backpacks.....and when I wave goodbye to them when they leave for school. Each birthday ...each new school year....each momement....we only have a short time.

Ok---off to find my broom and run the dishwasher......
