Again

Well there comes a time (OK well lots of times) in our life when we have to move. Unfortunately we just found out that this is one of those times. Our Landlord has decided to sell the house that we are living in so now we have to find a new one. Not that I will mind a new house so much its the packing and unpacking that I am NOT looking forward to!

Being a Mom is HARD!

I thought that this Mom stuff was supposed to get a little bit easier as the years have gone on. Yes I get more sleep, and I can actually go to the bathroom by myself. However, When you get up very early in the morning (well I do that anyway) but then you have to take you 12 year old and drop him off with a couple of well more of less strangers and say goodbye to him for an entire week just so he can go to scout camp and be a boy, its just to much. Who knew that scout camp at 12 would be harder than preschool at 3, kindergarten at 5, and first grade at 6 all put together. Compounding the situation is that 1 week from Wednesday my baby boy starts Junior high! I feel to old or maybe its young to have a child in Junior High, and to have my my other baby start first grade. I guess my kids just aren't little anymore. Who Knew!

Is summer over yet???

I was finally getting a moment to catch up on all of the blogs that I have missed, when I noticed that I have not posted 1 thing in 2 months! Well you are just going to have to deal with it! This summer has been excruciating for me. With both Andy and I trying to work and the kids trying to be at home (and not kill eachother) it has been almost more than I can handle. If you come to my house please make sure that you notice that it has not really been clean all summer. It took me several weeks just to come to terms with the fact that for the first summer ever my kids would not have a parent around with them. We were however able to find a wonderful babysitter (I refer to him as Micheal the angel) He comes in for 2 days a week, and without him the summer would have gone up in smoke (or the house, I don't want to speculate on which one would have gone up first!). I cannot wait for the next 17 days and my kids go back to school so that I don't have to sit at work and worry about them anymore. Once school starts I will hopefully be able to find my house, get my laundry done and stop going insane~ of course these are just goals you never know if they will actually happen! For now I am just going to be ecstatic that Grandma and Grandpa are being brave enough to take all 4 kids to the family reunion with them because Andy and I can't get the time off to go, so maybe I will get a kids vacation too even if its only 4 days!
